More quotes by 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
Image
I'm drinking champagne, got the head phones up high, can't numb you out.
Joni Mitchell
Image
We call for the three great stimulants of the exhausted ones, artifice, brutality, and innocence.
Joni Mitchell
Image
In some ways, my gift for music and writing was born out of tragedy, really, and loss.
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
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
Image
Do you see how you hurt me, baby? So I hurt you too. Then we both get so blue. I am on a lonely road and I am traveling, looking for the key to set me free.

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.
Joni Mitchell
Image
Rachmaninoff made a musician out of me. His 'Rhapsody on a Theme by Paganini' was the piece that sent me into raptures. It spoke to me. To me, it was a tender entreaty for the misunderstood.
Joni Mitchell
Image
We'll laugh and toast to nothing, and smash our empty glasses down.
Joni Mitchell
Image
I was young for my age. Not as naïve as they expected. I don't know why I seem to bring that out in people.
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
Image
We managed to put together a compilation that had some creativity to it. In the meantime I was listening to the free radio stations and I noticed that during their war coverage they were playing these songs born out of the Vietnam War that were all critical of the soldiers.

Does the moon play only silver when it strums the galaxy?
Joni Mitchell
Image
I get the same charge from juxtaposition of colors as I do from juxtaposition of chords.
Joni Mitchell
Image
I'm a very analytical person, a somewhat introspective person that's the nature of the work I do.
Joni Mitchell
Image
He saw my complications and he mirrored me back simplified, and we laughed how our perfect world would always be denied.
