Image
The most important thing is to write in your own blood. I bare intimate feelings because people should know how other people feel.
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
You could write a song about some kind of emotional problem you are having, but it would not be a good song, in my eyes, until it went through a period of sensitivity to a moment of clarity. Without that moment of clarity to contribute to the song, it's just complaining.
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

We're captive on the carousel of time, we can't return we can only look behind.
Joni Mitchell
Image
We call for the three great stimulants of the exhausted ones, artifice, brutality, and innocence.
Joni Mitchell

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.
Joni Mitchell
Image
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
Image
I came through folk music simply because it was easy to get into it.
Joni Mitchell
Image
You wake up one day and suddenly realize that your youth is behind you, even though you're still young at heart.
Joni Mitchell
Image
When you're trying to pass on the best of the stuff you're culling to what should be a hungry culture but you have it diminished... that's kind of disappointing.
Joni Mitchell
Image
During times like these, the wise are influential.
Joni Mitchell
Image
I'm a painter first, and a musician second.

I've got 50 different tunings in the guitar.
