Americans have decided to be stupid and shallow since 1980.
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
I'm not a pitiable creature. It's just that I suffer very eloquently.
Joni Mitchell

To enjoy my music, you need depth and emotionality.
Joni Mitchell

Nobody understood The Reoccurring Dream, but after September 11, when we were coerced to do a national duty and go out and shop, surely people could begin to see what I was getting at.
Joni Mitchell
