More quotes by Joni Mitchell
I'm a method actress in my songs, which is why it's hard to sing them.
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
I get the same charge from juxtaposition of colors as I do from juxtaposition of chords.
Joni Mitchell
Oh, the jealousy, the greed is the unraveling. It's the unraveling and it undoes all the joy that could be. .
Joni Mitchell
The considerations of a corporation, especially now, have nothing to do with art or music.
Joni Mitchell
You win the lasting laurels with your laughter.
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
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
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
Give me spots on my apples, but leave me the birds and the bees, please.
Joni Mitchell
I learned from admiration and osmosis.
Joni Mitchell
All I really, really want our love to do is to bring out the best in me and in you too.
Joni Mitchell
They won't give peace a chance, that's just a dream some of us had
Joni Mitchell
I like my freedom. I like to do my own grocery shopping. People do recognize you. They are kind of shocked. Some people like it. It makes them feel at ease. It confirms their hopes that you are in fact similar to them.
Joni Mitchell
You have this mounting aggressive ignorance with the rabbit's foot of their particular religion. You don't really have any kind of spiritual law, just a kind of a rabid mental illness. The songs are a little slice of life.
Joni Mitchell
Does the moon play only silver when it strums the galaxy?
Joni Mitchell
I come from pioneer stock, developers of the West, people who went out into the wilderness and set up home with nothing but a pair of oxen.
Joni Mitchell
Yesterday a child came out to wonder Caught a dragonfly inside a jar Fearful when the sky was full of thunder And tearful at the falling of a star
Joni Mitchell
I am as constant as a northern star
Joni Mitchell
Rachmaninoff made a musician out of me. His 'Rhapsody on a Theme by Paganini' was the piece that sent me into raptures. It spoke to me. To me, it was a tender entreaty for the misunderstood.
Joni Mitchell
