More quotes by Joni Mitchell
You wake up one day and suddenly realize that your youth is behind you, even though you're still young at heart.
Joni Mitchell
I heard someone from the music business saying they are no longer looking for talent, they want people with a certain look and a willingness to cooperate.
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
I was anti-intellectual to the nth. Basically I liked to dance and paint, and that was about it.
Joni Mitchell
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
I do have this reputation for being a serious person.
Joni Mitchell
You've got to keep the child alive you can't create without it.
Joni Mitchell
I certainly don't want to be an angry old artist.
Joni Mitchell
I have always thought of myself as a painter derailed by circumstance.
Joni Mitchell
A little lawyer on the tube, he said, its so easy now, anyone can sue.
Joni Mitchell
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
When I think of your kisses my mind see-saws.
Joni Mitchell
Because Elvis gave 'em cars, you think I'm cheap.
Joni Mitchell
My parents told me I'd point to a bed of flowers and say 'Pink. Pretty,' before I knew any other words.
Joni Mitchell
I'm a method actress in my songs, which is why it's hard to sing them.
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
My name had gone stale, and no matter how progressive I got, it was my time to die.
Joni Mitchell
They used to laugh at me when I refused to ride on all those double decker buses, all because there was no driver on the top.
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 bodies as individual things.
Joni Mitchell
