Some turn to Jesus and some turn to heroin.

Morgellons is constantly morphing. There are times when it's directly attacking the nervous system, as if you're being bitten by fleas and lice. It's all in the tissue and it's not a hallucination. It was eating me alive, sucking the juices out. I've been sick all my life.
Joni Mitchell
Image
Musically, I don't think I'd ever dry up. I trust my musical invention.

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

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

I'm drinking champagne, got the head phones up high, can't numb you out.
Joni Mitchell

I certainly don't want to be an angry old artist.
Joni Mitchell
Image
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
Image
All romantics meet the same fate some day. Drunk and cynical and boring someone in some dark cafe.
Joni Mitchell
Image
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
Image
My life came down to being a granny and watching a lot of television.
Joni Mitchell
Image
You can give me 400,000 hostile people and I won't even break sweat. If you give me 200 adoring people, my mouth will dry out.
