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.

Because Elvis gave 'em cars, you think I'm cheap.
Joni Mitchell
Image
The rock & roll industry is very incestuous, and we have all been close at one time or another. A lot of beautiful music and a lot of beautiful times came from that. A lot of pain, too, because, inevitably, different relationships broke up.
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

I got in before SoHo was SoHo. It was just Little Italy when I was in there. It's still off the touristy track. It's just away from the Saturday action, the crowds and everything. It's too expensive. It's insane. You've got to be a billionaire to live on Manhattan now.

Unlike some of my peers, I haven't really hit a writer's block. When I hit a block I just paint, which is an old crop rotation trick.
Joni Mitchell
Image
Buddy Holly and the early rock 'n' roll was no lighter than the way I play. It's very minimal.
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
The only thing I have to give to make you smile, to win you with, are all the mornings still to live.
Joni Mitchell
Image
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.
Joni Mitchell
Image
We call for the three great stimulants of the exhausted ones, artifice, brutality, and innocence.
Joni Mitchell
Image
You snipe so steady, you snub so snide, so rip and ready to diminish and deride.
Joni Mitchell
Image
All my battles were with male egos. I’m just looking for equality, not to dominate. But I want to be able to control my vision.
Joni Mitchell
Image
I do have this reputation for being a serious person.

We'll laugh and toast to nothing, and smash our empty glasses down.

I hang my laundry on the line when I write.
