More quotes by Joni Mitchell
Some turn to Jesus and some turn to heroin.
Joni Mitchell
Whatever it was that I felt was the weak link in my previous project gave me inspiration for the next one.
Joni Mitchell
Nobody understood The Reoccurring Dream, but after September 11, when we were coerced to do a national duty and go out and shop, surely people could begin to see what I was getting at.
Joni Mitchell
My parents told me I'd point to a bed of flowers and say 'Pink. Pretty,' before I knew any other words.
Joni Mitchell
I paint my joy and I sing my sorrow.
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.
Joni Mitchell
People were very protective of me. Overly so. I was in the industry for a long time before I had any idea of what drugs people were doing.
Joni Mitchell
I see the entire world as Eden, and every time you take an inch of it away, you must do so with respect.
Joni Mitchell
My name had gone stale, and no matter how progressive I got, it was my time to die.
Joni Mitchell
Do you see how you hurt me, baby? So I hurt you too. Then we both get so blue. I am on a lonely road and I am traveling, looking for the key to set me free.
Joni Mitchell
I conceived in art college at the age of 20, near the end of term.
Joni Mitchell
I'm a very analytical person, a somewhat introspective person that's the nature of the work I do.
Joni Mitchell
Back then, I didn't have a big organization around me. I was just a kid with a guitar, traveling around. My responsibility basically was to the art, and I had extra time on my hands. There is no extra time now. There isn't enough time.
Joni Mitchell
My style of songwriting is influenced by cinema. I'm a frustrated filmmaker. A fan once said to me, 'Girl, you make me see pictures in my head!' and I took that as a great compliment. That's exactly my intention.
Joni Mitchell
I assume there must be some kind of genetic thrust. My two grandmothers were very different, but both of them were frustrated musicians.
Joni Mitchell
Everybody's saying hell's the hippest way to go. Well, I don't think so, but I'm gonna take a look around it though.
Joni Mitchell
Fly silly sea bird, no dreams can possess you, no voices can blame you for sun on your wings.
Joni Mitchell
You snipe so steady, you snub so snide, so rip and ready to diminish and deride.
Joni Mitchell
Yesterday a child came out to wonder Caught a dragonfly inside a jar Fearful when the sky was full of thunder And tearful at the falling of a star
Joni Mitchell
There'll be icicles and birthday clothes And sometimes there'll be sorrow
Joni Mitchell
