Joni Mitchell
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
There was this mountain village in Russia where my music was getting in on some German radio station. I remember this because music used to get up to Saskatchewan from Texas. Late at night after the local station closed down.
Joni Mitchell
I'm a very analytical person, a somewhat introspective person that's the nature of the work I do.
Joni Mitchell
Happiness is the best facelift.
Joni Mitchell
I am as constant as a northern star
Joni Mitchell
