More quotes by Joni Mitchell
It's life's illusions that I recall, I really don't know life at all
Joni Mitchell
Fibers in a variety of colors protrude out of my skin like mushrooms after a rainstorm. They cannot be forensically identified as animal, vegetable or mineral.
Joni Mitchell
Lord, there's danger in this land, you get witch hunts and wars when church and state hold hands.
Joni Mitchell
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
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
Oh, I am a lonely painter / I live in a box of paints.
Joni Mitchell

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

Joni Mitchell
When I think of your kisses my mind see-saws.
Joni Mitchell
I'm a method actress in my songs, which is why it's hard to sing them.
Joni Mitchell
I know my generation - a lot of them, they're getting old now, and they want to think back fondly, they want to kid themselves. A lot of them think, 'Yeah, we were the best.' That's the kiss of death. That's non-growth. And also that's very bad for the world.
Joni Mitchell
Buddy Holly and the early rock 'n' roll was no lighter than the way I play. It's very minimal.
Joni Mitchell
I am a woman of heart and mind, looking for affection and respect, a little passion.
Joni Mitchell
Applause, applause, life is our cause.
Joni Mitchell
Musically, I don't think I'd ever dry up. I trust my musical invention.
Joni Mitchell
I'm your biggest fan, California, I'm coming home
Joni Mitchell
There'll be icicles and birthday clothes And sometimes there'll be sorrow
Joni Mitchell
Give me spots on my apples, but leave me the birds and the bees, please.
Joni Mitchell
The most important thing is to write in your own blood. I bare intimate feelings because people should know how other people feel.
