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.

Joni Mitchell
Image
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
Image
Musically, I don't think I'd ever dry up. I trust my musical invention.
Joni Mitchell
Image
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
Image
When you reach that kind of successful pinnacle, it is the nature of the business and the press and everything that they go about tearing you down.
Joni Mitchell
Image
I have always thought of myself as a painter derailed by circumstance.

During times like these, the wise are influential.
