More quotes by Joni Mitchell
Americans have decided to be stupid and shallow since 1980.
Joni Mitchell
We'll laugh and toast to nothing, and smash our empty glasses down.
Joni Mitchell
Buddy Holly and the early rock 'n' roll was no lighter than the way I play. It's very minimal.
Joni Mitchell
All my battles were with male egos. I’m just looking for equality, not to dominate. But I want to be able to control my vision.
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
In some ways, my gift for music and writing was born out of tragedy, really, and loss.
Joni Mitchell
The pirate he will sink you with a kiss, he'll steal your heart and sail away.
Joni Mitchell
White rhythm is waltzes, marches, and the polka. In Africa, rhythm is used for a celebratory groove, but white rhythm doesn't have such an enormous vocabulary of spirits. It's basically militant.
Joni Mitchell
And the seasons they go 'round and 'round And the painted ponies go up and down We're captive on the carousel of time We can't return we can only look behind From where we came And go round and round and round In the circle game.
Joni Mitchell
I was anti-intellectual to the nth. Basically I liked to dance and paint, and that was about it.
Joni Mitchell
Love is a very hard feeling to keep alive. It's a very fragile plant.
Joni Mitchell
Elusive dreams and vague desires fanned to fiery needs by deadly deeds of falling empires.
Joni Mitchell
Oh, I am a lonely painter / I live in a box of paints.
Joni Mitchell
I lost my daughter at 21. I had to give her up because I was broke, no place to take her, no money to take her. That was very traumatic.
Joni Mitchell
My childhood was very difficult. I had every childhood disease and then some, but my parents didnt mollycoddle me. They left me to fight those battles on my own. I guess that was very Canadian, very stoic. But its good. I had to become a warrior. I had to give up hope and find a substitute for hope that would be far more stable.
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
To enjoy my music, you need depth and emotionality.
Joni Mitchell
If you see yourself as a kingly type, then you need your serfs and your army and so on around you.
Joni Mitchell
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.
Joni Mitchell
Fibers in a variety of colors protrude out of my skin like mushrooms after a rainstorm. They cannot be forensically identified as animal, vegetable or mineral.
Joni Mitchell
