More quotes by Joni Mitchell
I'm not a pitiable creature. It's just that I suffer very eloquently.
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've looked at life from both sides now...from win and lose, and still somehow it's life's illusions I recall I really don't know life at all.
Joni Mitchell
If you see yourself as a kingly type, then you need your serfs and your army and so on around you.
Joni Mitchell
I have one piece of music, since 1997, and I don't see it having lyrics. Where does it go in this world? So I haven't recorded it.
Joni Mitchell
Lazy reviewers look up other people's reviews and they write the same thing, so you get people writing crap based on crap.
Joni Mitchell
Do you want - do you want - do you want to dance with me baby?
Joni Mitchell
No one likes to have less than they had before. That's the nature of the human animal.
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 hang my laundry on the line when I write.
Joni Mitchell
Rolling Stone hates me. They must have an editorial policy to do me in for many years.
Joni Mitchell
They'll crucify you for staying the same, and they'll crucify you for change. I'd rather be crucified for changing.
Joni Mitchell
I'm a painter first, and a musician second.
Joni Mitchell
I get the same charge from juxtaposition of colors as I do from juxtaposition of chords.
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
I know my generation - a lot of them, they're getting old now, and they want to think back fondly, they want to kid themselves. A lot of them think, 'Yeah, we were the best.' That's the kiss of death. That's non-growth. And also that's very bad for the world.
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 assume there must be some kind of genetic thrust. My two grandmothers were very different, but both of them were frustrated musicians.
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
Because Elvis gave 'em cars, you think I'm cheap.
Joni Mitchell
