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
Richard got married to a figure skater, and he bought her a dishwasher and a coffee percolator.
Joni Mitchell
I was young for my age. Not as naïve as they expected. I don't know why I seem to bring that out in people.
Joni Mitchell
I've got 50 different tunings in the guitar.
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
I live in a box of paints I'm frightened by the devil And I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid
Joni Mitchell
The rock & roll industry is very incestuous, and we have all been close at one time or another. A lot of beautiful music and a lot of beautiful times came from that. A lot of pain, too, because, inevitably, different relationships broke up.
Joni Mitchell
I get the same charge from juxtaposition of colors as I do from juxtaposition of chords.
Joni Mitchell

Ira Gershwin, shame on him. I mean, some of the writing.
Joni Mitchell
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.
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'm not a pitiable creature. It's just that I suffer very eloquently.
Joni Mitchell
In some ways, my gift for music and writing was born out of tragedy, really, and loss.
Joni Mitchell
There'll be icicles and birthday clothes And sometimes there'll be sorrow
Joni Mitchell
When you reach that kind of successful pinnacle, it is the nature of the business and the press and everything that they go about tearing you down.
Joni Mitchell
You win the lasting laurels with your laughter.
Joni Mitchell
Because Elvis gave 'em cars, you think I'm cheap.
Joni Mitchell
A little lawyer on the tube, he said, its so easy now, anyone can sue.
Joni Mitchell
