Image
What I do is unusual: chordal movements that have never been used before, changing keys and modalities mid-song.
Joni Mitchell
Image
The most important thing is to write in your own blood. I bare intimate feelings because people should know how other people feel.
Joni Mitchell

Fear is like the wilderland - Stepping stones or sinking sand

All I really, really want our love to do is to bring out the best in me and in you too.
Joni Mitchell
Image
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.

You win the lasting laurels with your laughter.

Some get the gravy, some get the gristle.

We're captive on the carousel of time, we can't return we can only look behind.

They won't give peace a chance, that's just a dream some of us had
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
Image
Once I got the open tunings for some reason, I began to get the harmonic sophistication that I heard that my musical fountain inside was excited by. Once I got some interesting chords to play with, my writing began to come.
Joni Mitchell

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.

During times like these, the wise are influential.

They'll crucify you for staying the same, and they'll crucify you for change. I'd rather be crucified for changing.
