More quotes by Joni Mitchell
Love is a very hard feeling to keep alive. It's a very fragile plant.
Joni Mitchell
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
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

Joni Mitchell
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
I paint my joy and I sing my sorrow.

We're captive on the carousel of time, we can't return we can only look behind.
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
People were very protective of me. Overly so. I was in the industry for a long time before I had any idea of what drugs people were doing.
Joni Mitchell

Joni Mitchell
Americans have decided to be stupid and shallow since 1980.
Joni Mitchell
The only thing I have to give to make you smile, to win you with, are all the mornings still to live.
Joni Mitchell
They'll crucify you for staying the same, and they'll crucify you for change. I'd rather be crucified for changing.
Joni Mitchell
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
I've got 50 different tunings in the guitar.
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 it gets so lonely When you're walking And the streets are full of strangers
Joni Mitchell
