More quotes by Joni Mitchell
Everybody's saying hell's the hippest way to go. Well, I don't think so, but I'm gonna take a look around it though.
Joni Mitchell
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
I have always thought of myself as a painter derailed by circumstance.
Joni Mitchell
My life came down to being a granny and watching a lot of television.
Joni Mitchell
No one likes to have less than they had before. That's the nature of the human animal.
Joni Mitchell
I think I would go further into fine arts, I think, if I were to continue.
Joni Mitchell
Because Elvis gave 'em cars, you think I'm cheap.
Joni Mitchell
We'll laugh and toast to nothing, and smash our empty glasses down.
Joni Mitchell
When the spirit of child's play enters into the creative process, it's a wonderful force and something to be nurtured.
Joni Mitchell
I wish I had a river I could skate away on?
Joni Mitchell
I create by feeling rather than by intellectualizing.
Joni Mitchell
Does the moon play only silver when it strums the galaxy?
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
Some get the gravy, some get the gristle.
Joni Mitchell
I assume there must be some kind of genetic thrust. My two grandmothers were very different, but both of them were frustrated musicians.
Joni Mitchell
I could drink a case of you, darlin'...and I would still be on my feet, yes I would still be on my feet.
Joni Mitchell
I know my generation - a lot of them, they're getting old now, and they want to think back fondly, they want to kid themselves. A lot of them think, 'Yeah, we were the best.' That's the kiss of death. That's non-growth. And also that's very bad for the world.
Joni Mitchell
When I think of your kisses my mind see-saws.
Joni Mitchell
You win the lasting laurels with your laughter.
Joni Mitchell
My family could only afford to get me the box of eight Crayola crayons, but I craved the one with all 24 colours. I wanted magenta and turquoise and silver and gold.
