More quotes by 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
The only thing I have to give to make you smile, to win you with, are all the mornings still to live.
Joni Mitchell
We'll laugh and toast to nothing, and smash our empty glasses down.
Joni Mitchell
Rolling Stone hates me. They must have an editorial policy to do me in for many years.
Joni Mitchell
Everybody's saying hell's the hippest way to go. Well, I don't think so, but I'm gonna take a look around it though.
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 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 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
Abstract Expressionism was invented by New York drunks.
Joni Mitchell
They took all the trees and put them in a tree museum.
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
Oh, I am a lonely painter / I live in a box of paints.
Joni Mitchell
I get the urge for going/But I never seem to go.
Joni Mitchell
Oh it gets so lonely When you're walking And the streets are full of strangers
Joni Mitchell
All the news of home you read, more about the war and of bloody changes.
Joni Mitchell
When you're trying to pass on the best of the stuff you're culling to what should be a hungry culture but you have it diminished... that's kind of disappointing.
Joni Mitchell
Do you want - do you want - do you want to dance with me baby?
Joni Mitchell
To enjoy my music, you need depth and emotionality.
Joni Mitchell
Daydreamin' drugs the pain of living.
Joni Mitchell
They won't give peace a chance, that's just a dream some of us had
Joni Mitchell
