Quote

And the seasons they go 'round and 'round And the painted ponies go up and down We're captive on the carousel of time We can't return we can only look behind From where we came And go round and round and round In the circle game.

At the point where I'm trying to force something and it's not happening, and I'm getting frustrated with, say, writing a poem, I can go and pick up the brushes and start painting. At the point where the painting seems to not be going anywhere, I go and pick up the guitar.

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
Lord, there's danger in this land, you get witch hunts and wars when church and state hold hands.
Joni Mitchell

Musically, I don't think I'd ever dry up. I trust my musical invention.
Joni Mitchell

If you see yourself as a kingly type, then you need your serfs and your army and so on around you.
Joni Mitchell
Image
I create by feeling rather than by intellectualizing.
Joni Mitchell
Image
You have this mounting aggressive ignorance with the rabbit's foot of their particular religion. You don't really have any kind of spiritual law, just a kind of a rabid mental illness. The songs are a little slice of life.
Joni Mitchell
Image
They paved paradise and put up a parkin lot With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swingin' hot spot Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you got till it's gone
Joni Mitchell
Image
I'm irresponsible to my career in order to paint. Because painting is obsessive. I forget to eat. I forget to sleep.
Joni Mitchell
Image
In terms of fiction, I'd rather go out and have a good time than read a book about someone having a good or bad time.

Buddy Holly and the early rock 'n' roll was no lighter than the way I play. It's very minimal.
