When I think of your kisses my mind see-saws.
Joni Mitchell
Image
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.
Joni Mitchell
Image
We'll laugh and toast to nothing, and smash our empty glasses down.
Joni Mitchell
Image
I create by feeling rather than by intellectualizing.
Joni Mitchell
Image
My style of songwriting is influenced by cinema. I'm a frustrated filmmaker. A fan once said to me, 'Girl, you make me see pictures in my head!' and I took that as a great compliment. That's exactly my intention.
Joni Mitchell
Image
When I came to California, it was the mecca of the world. Every young person on the planet wanted to be here.
Joni Mitchell
Image

Joni Mitchell
Image
In some ways, my gift for music and writing was born out of tragedy, really, and loss.
Joni Mitchell

For the first time in my career, I'm working in a fine-arts arena, so I'm finally getting some intelligent reviews.

Joni Mitchell
Image
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
Image
Let light hearts remake us.
Joni Mitchell
Image
I loved Debussy, Stravinsky, Chopin, Tchaikovsky, anything with romantic melodies, especially the nocturnes. Nietzsche was a hero, especially with Thus Spoke Zarathustra. He gets a bad rap hes very misunderstood. Hes a maker of individuals, and he was a teacher of teachers.
Joni Mitchell
Image
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
Image
Just before our love got lost you said I am as constant as a northern star And I said, constantly in the darkness, Where's that at? If you want me I'll be in the bar.
Joni Mitchell
Image
They'll crucify you for staying the same, and they'll crucify you for change. I'd rather be crucified for changing.
Joni Mitchell
Image
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.
