More quotes by Joni Mitchell
I came through folk music simply because it was easy to get into it.
Joni Mitchell
You could write a song about some kind of emotional problem you are having, but it would not be a good song, in my eyes, until it went through a period of sensitivity to a moment of clarity. Without that moment of clarity to contribute to the song, it's just complaining.
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
I like my freedom. I like to do my own grocery shopping.
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
Laughing and crying, you know it's the same release.
Joni Mitchell

Joni Mitchell

Joni Mitchell

Joni Mitchell
I've got 50 different tunings in the guitar.
Joni Mitchell
Do you want - do you want - do you want to dance with me baby?
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
you dont know what you got till its gone
Joni Mitchell
A few drinks later you're not so choosy when the closing lights strip off the shadows on this strange new flesh you've found.
Joni Mitchell
Elusive dreams and vague desires fanned to fiery needs by deadly deeds of falling empires.
Joni Mitchell
Fly silly sea bird, no dreams can possess you, no voices can blame you for sun on your wings.
Joni Mitchell
If I'm censoring for anyone, it's for my parents. They are very old-fashioned and moral people. They still don't understand me that well.
Joni Mitchell
I dreamed I saw the bombers riding shot gun in the sky and they were turning into butterflies above our nation.
Joni Mitchell
