More quotes by Joni Mitchell
I'm not a pitiable creature. It's just that I suffer very eloquently.
Joni Mitchell
You wake up one day and suddenly realize that your youth is behind you, even though you're still young at heart.
Joni Mitchell
Some turn to Jesus and some turn to heroin.
Joni Mitchell

Joni Mitchell
Ira Gershwin, shame on him. I mean, some of the writing.

Happiness is the best facelift.
Joni Mitchell
And the seasons they go 'round and 'round And the painted ponies go up and down We're captive on the carousel of time We can't return we can only look behind From where we came And go round and round and round In the circle game.
Joni Mitchell
For the first time in my career, I'm working in a fine-arts arena, so I'm finally getting some intelligent reviews.
Joni Mitchell
I came through folk music simply because it was easy to get into it.
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
Richard got married to a figure skater, and he bought her a dishwasher and a coffee percolator.
Joni Mitchell
All romantics meet the same fate some day. Drunk and cynical and boring someone in some dark cafe.
Joni Mitchell
I can't remember anything I ever wrote.
Joni Mitchell
