Morgellons is constantly morphing. There are times when it's directly attacking the nervous system, as if you're being bitten by fleas and lice. It's all in the tissue and it's not a hallucination. It was eating me alive, sucking the juices out. I've been sick all my life.

Joni Mitchell
Image
Abstract Expressionism was invented by New York drunks.
Joni Mitchell
Image
Rachmaninoff made a musician out of me. His 'Rhapsody on a Theme by Paganini' was the piece that sent me into raptures. It spoke to me. To me, it was a tender entreaty for the misunderstood.
Joni Mitchell
Image
Lord, there's danger in this land, you get witch hunts and wars when church and state hold hands.
Joni Mitchell
Image
Love is a very hard feeling to keep alive. It's a very fragile plant.
Joni Mitchell
Image
Lazy reviewers look up other people's reviews and they write the same thing, so you get people writing crap based on crap.
Joni Mitchell
Image
All I really, really want our love to do is to bring out the best in me and in you too.
Joni Mitchell
Image
So many things I would have done, but clouds got in my way.

Rolling Stone hates me. They must have an editorial policy to do me in for many years.
Joni Mitchell

Once I got the open tunings for some reason, I began to get the harmonic sophistication that I heard that my musical fountain inside was excited by. Once I got some interesting chords to play with, my writing began to come.
