More quotes by Joni Mitchell
People were very protective of me. Overly so. I was in the industry for a long time before I had any idea of what drugs people were doing.
Joni Mitchell
Laughing and crying, you know it's the same release.
Joni Mitchell
All I really, really want our love to do is to bring out the best in me and in you too.
Joni Mitchell
When I think of your kisses my mind see-saws.
Joni Mitchell
Whatever it was that I felt was the weak link in my previous project gave me inspiration for the next one.
Joni Mitchell
When I came to California, it was the mecca of the world. Every young person on the planet wanted to be here.
Joni Mitchell

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
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
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.
Joni Mitchell
Love is a very hard feeling to keep alive. It's a very fragile plant.
Joni Mitchell
At the point where I'm trying to force something and it's not happening, and I'm getting frustrated with, say, writing a poem, I can go and pick up the brushes and start painting. At the point where the painting seems to not be going anywhere, I go and pick up the guitar.
Joni Mitchell
You know that it never has been easy Whether you do or do not resign Whether you travel the breadth of the extremities Or stick to some straighter line.
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
My parents told me I'd point to a bed of flowers and say 'Pink. Pretty,' before I knew any other words.
Joni Mitchell
In terms of fiction, I'd rather go out and have a good time than read a book about someone having a good or bad time.
Joni Mitchell
It's life's illusions that I recall, I really don't know life at all
Joni Mitchell
I'm irresponsible to my career in order to paint. Because painting is obsessive. I forget to eat. I forget to sleep.
Joni Mitchell
We have a war dictator who was not elected, he snuck in. so he punishes people that threaten him in any way, or even say something he doesn't like. It has no resemblance to democracy.
Joni Mitchell
