More quotes by Joni Mitchell
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
When I came to California, it was the mecca of the world. Every young person on the planet wanted to be here.
Joni Mitchell

I got in before SoHo was SoHo. It was just Little Italy when I was in there. It's still off the touristy track. It's just away from the Saturday action, the crowds and everything. It's too expensive. It's insane. You've got to be a billionaire to live on Manhattan now.

Joni Mitchell
I am a woman of heart and mind, looking for affection and respect, a little passion.
Joni Mitchell
Let light hearts remake us.
Joni Mitchell
All my battles were with male egos. I’m just looking for equality, not to dominate. But I want to be able to control my vision.
Joni Mitchell
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.
Joni Mitchell
To enjoy my music, you need depth and emotionality.
Joni Mitchell
When you reach that kind of successful pinnacle, it is the nature of the business and the press and everything that they go about tearing you down.
Joni Mitchell
I dreamed I saw the bombers riding shot gun in the sky and they were turning into butterflies above our nation.
Joni Mitchell
