More quotes by Joni Mitchell
I'm a method actress in my songs, which is why it's hard to sing them.
Joni Mitchell
My family could only afford to get me the box of eight Crayola crayons, but I craved the one with all 24 colours. I wanted magenta and turquoise and silver and gold.
Joni Mitchell
I'm a very analytical person, a somewhat introspective person that's the nature of the work I do.
Joni Mitchell
I could drink a case of you, darlin'...and I would still be on my feet, yes I would still be on my feet.
Joni Mitchell
I like my freedom. I like to do my own grocery shopping. People do recognize you. They are kind of shocked. Some people like it. It makes them feel at ease. It confirms their hopes that you are in fact similar to them.
Joni Mitchell
Daydreamin' drugs the pain of living.
Joni Mitchell
I learned from admiration and osmosis.
Joni Mitchell
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.
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
We call for the three great stimulants of the exhausted ones, artifice, brutality, and innocence.
Joni Mitchell
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
I hang my laundry on the line when I write.
Joni Mitchell
everything comes and goes pleasure moves on too early and trouble leaves too slow
Joni Mitchell
My childhood was very difficult. I had every childhood disease and then some, but my parents didnt mollycoddle me. They left me to fight those battles on my own. I guess that was very Canadian, very stoic. But its good. I had to become a warrior. I had to give up hope and find a substitute for hope that would be far more stable.
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
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
The thing that started me painting originally was seeing Bambi when I was about nine. I was incredibly disturbed by the forest fire that killed Bambi's mother, and that distress gave me the impulse to create something, as a way of dealing with it.
Joni Mitchell
I live in a box of paints I'm frightened by the devil And I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid
Joni Mitchell
I liked playing in small clubs. I really liked holding the attention of thirty or forty people. I never liked the roar of the big crowd.
Joni Mitchell
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
