Some get the gravy, some get the gristle.
Joni Mitchell
Image
There was this mountain village in Russia where my music was getting in on some German radio station. I remember this because music used to get up to Saskatchewan from Texas. Late at night after the local station closed down.
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
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
I assume there must be some kind of genetic thrust. My two grandmothers were very different, but both of them were frustrated musicians.

I'm drinking champagne, got the head phones up high, can't numb you out.

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.

Ira Gershwin, shame on him. I mean, some of the writing.
Joni Mitchell
Image
I've looked at life from both sides now...from win and lose, and still somehow it's life's illusions I recall I really don't know life at all.
Joni Mitchell
Image
I live in a box of paints I'm frightened by the devil And I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid
Joni Mitchell
Image
Whatever it was that I felt was the weak link in my previous project gave me inspiration for the next one.
Joni Mitchell
Image
At the point where I'm trying to force something and it's not happening, and I'm getting frustrated with, say, writing a poem, I can go and pick up the brushes and start painting. At the point where the painting seems to not be going anywhere, I go and pick up the guitar.

I create by feeling rather than by intellectualizing.
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
Inside your own self pity there you swim, in sinking down to drown her voice still haunts you, and only with your laughter can you win.
Joni Mitchell

I'm your biggest fan, California, I'm coming home
Joni Mitchell
Image
I was anti-intellectual to the nth. Basically I liked to dance and paint, and that was about it.
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
I'm not a pitiable creature. It's just that I suffer very eloquently.
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.
