Image
My name had gone stale, and no matter how progressive I got, it was my time to die.
Joni Mitchell
Image
Applause, applause, life is our cause.
Joni Mitchell

For the first time in my career, I'm working in a fine-arts arena, so I'm finally getting some intelligent reviews.
Joni Mitchell
Image
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.

everything comes and goes pleasure moves on too early and trouble leaves too slow
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

All romantics meet the same fate some day. Drunk and cynical and boring someone in some dark cafe.
Joni Mitchell
Image
Rachmaninoff made a musician out of me. His 'Rhapsody on a Theme by Paganini' was the piece that sent me into raptures. It spoke to me. To me, it was a tender entreaty for the misunderstood.
Joni Mitchell
Image
I'm drinking champagne, got the head phones up high, can't numb you out.
Joni Mitchell
Image
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
Image
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.
Joni Mitchell
Image
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
Image
Whatever it was that I felt was the weak link in my previous project gave me inspiration for the next one.
Joni Mitchell
Image
But now old friends are acting strange They shake their heads, they say I've changed Well something's lost, but something's gained In living every day
Joni Mitchell
Image
White rhythm is waltzes, marches, and the polka. In Africa, rhythm is used for a celebratory groove, but white rhythm doesn't have such an enormous vocabulary of spirits. It's basically militant.

I'm a method actress in my songs, which is why it's hard to sing them.
