I'm irresponsible to my career in order to paint. Because painting is obsessive. I forget to eat. I forget to sleep.

I could drink a case of you, darlin'...and I would still be on my feet, yes I would still be on my feet.

We have a war dictator who was not elected, he snuck in. so he punishes people that threaten him in any way, or even say something he doesn't like. It has no resemblance to democracy.
Joni Mitchell
Image
Back then, I didn't have a big organization around me. I was just a kid with a guitar, traveling around. My responsibility basically was to the art, and I had extra time on my hands. There is no extra time now. There isn't enough time.
