More quotes by Joni Mitchell

Image
I liked playing in small clubs. I really liked holding the attention of thirty or forty people. I never liked the roar of the big crowd.
Joni Mitchell
Image
Morgellons is constantly morphing. There are times when it's directly attacking the nervous system, as if you're being bitten by fleas and lice. It's all in the tissue and it's not a hallucination. It was eating me alive, sucking the juices out. I've been sick all my life.
Joni Mitchell
Image
We call for the three great stimulants of the exhausted ones, artifice, brutality, and innocence.
Joni Mitchell
Image
They took all the trees and put them in a tree museum.
Joni Mitchell
Image
I assume there must be some kind of genetic thrust. My two grandmothers were very different, but both of them were frustrated musicians.
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.

Applause, applause, life is our cause.
Joni Mitchell
Image
They paved paradise and put up a parkin lot With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swingin' hot spot Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you got till it's gone
Joni Mitchell
Image
I learned from admiration and osmosis.
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
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
I get the urge for going/But I never seem to go.
Joni Mitchell
Image
What I do is unusual: chordal movements that have never been used before, changing keys and modalities mid-song.
Joni Mitchell
Image
Love is a very hard feeling to keep alive. It's a very fragile plant.
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
Happiness is the best facelift.
Joni Mitchell
Image
Rolling Stone hates me. They must have an editorial policy to do me in for many years.
Joni Mitchell
Image
There'll be icicles and birthday clothes And sometimes there'll be sorrow
Joni Mitchell
Image
Laughing and crying, you know it's the same release.
Joni Mitchell

Fly silly sea bird, no dreams can possess you, no voices can blame you for sun on your wings.
