Joni Mitchell
The considerations of a corporation, especially now, have nothing to do with art or music.
Joni Mitchell
I have always thought of myself as a painter derailed by circumstance.
Joni Mitchell
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 like my freedom. I like to do my own grocery shopping. People do recognize you. They are kind of shocked. Some people like it. It makes them feel at ease. It confirms their hopes that you are in fact similar to them.
Joni Mitchell
They won't give peace a chance, that's just a dream some of us had
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
The God of the Old Testament is the depiction of evil.
Joni Mitchell
Once I got the open tunings for some reason, I began to get the harmonic sophistication that I heard that my musical fountain inside was excited by. Once I got some interesting chords to play with, my writing began to come.
Joni Mitchell
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.
Joni Mitchell

Joni Mitchell
Fame is a series of misunderstandin gs surrounding a name.
Joni Mitchell
My childhood was very difficult. I had every childhood disease and then some, but my parents didnt mollycoddle me. They left me to fight those battles on my own. I guess that was very Canadian, very stoic. But its good. I had to become a warrior. I had to give up hope and find a substitute for hope that would be far more stable.
Joni Mitchell
I get the same charge from juxtaposition of colors as I do from juxtaposition of chords.
Joni Mitchell
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.
Joni Mitchell
you dont know what you got till its gone
Joni Mitchell
You've got to keep the child alive you can't create without it.
Joni Mitchell
We have a war dictator who was not elected, he snuck in. so he punishes people that threaten him in any way, or even say something he doesn't like. It has no resemblance to democracy.
Joni Mitchell
No one likes to have less than they had before. That's the nature of the human animal.
Joni Mitchell
You have this mounting aggressive ignorance with the rabbit's foot of their particular religion. You don't really have any kind of spiritual law, just a kind of a rabid mental illness. The songs are a little slice of life.
Joni Mitchell
