I see bodies as individual things.
Joni Mitchell
Image
Back then, I didn't have a big organization around me. I was just a kid with a guitar, traveling around. My responsibility basically was to the art, and I had extra time on my hands. There is no extra time now. There isn't enough time.

Americans have decided to be stupid and shallow since 1980.
Joni Mitchell
Image
You've got to keep the child alive you can't create without it.
