More quotes by Joni Mitchell
I could drink a case of you, darlin'...and I would still be on my feet, yes I would still be on my feet.
Joni Mitchell
I'm a very analytical person, a somewhat introspective person that's the nature of the work I do.
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
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
In terms of fiction, I'd rather go out and have a good time than read a book about someone having a good or bad time.
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
I can't remember anything I ever wrote.
Joni Mitchell
I have always thought of myself as a painter derailed by circumstance.
Joni Mitchell
When you're trying to pass on the best of the stuff you're culling to what should be a hungry culture but you have it diminished... that's kind of disappointing.
Joni Mitchell
You could write a song about some kind of emotional problem you are having, but it would not be a good song, in my eyes, until it went through a period of sensitivity to a moment of clarity. Without that moment of clarity to contribute to the song, it's just complaining.
Joni Mitchell
Oh, I am a lonely painter / I live in a box of paints.
Joni Mitchell
What I do is unusual: chordal movements that have never been used before, changing keys and modalities mid-song.
Joni Mitchell
No one likes to have less than they had before. That's the nature of the human animal.
Joni Mitchell
I don't know who I am but you know, life is for learning.
Joni Mitchell
If I'm censoring for anyone, it's for my parents. They are very old-fashioned and moral people. They still don't understand me that well.
Joni Mitchell
I never loved a man as far as I could pitch my shoe.
Joni Mitchell
During times like these, the wise are influential.
Joni Mitchell
You snipe so steady, you snub so snide, so rip and ready to diminish and deride.
Joni Mitchell
When I think of your kisses my mind see-saws.
Joni Mitchell
So many things I would have done, but clouds got in my way.
Joni Mitchell
