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
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
Applause, applause, life is our cause.
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
I paint my joy and I sing my sorrow.
Joni Mitchell
Buddy Holly and the early rock 'n' roll was no lighter than the way I play. It's very minimal.
Joni Mitchell
When I think of your kisses my mind see-saws.
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
You snipe so steady, you snub so snide, so rip and ready to diminish and deride.
Joni Mitchell
The rock & roll industry is very incestuous, and we have all been close at one time or another. A lot of beautiful music and a lot of beautiful times came from that. A lot of pain, too, because, inevitably, different relationships broke up.
Joni Mitchell
I see bodies as individual things.
Joni Mitchell
Give me spots on my apples, but leave me the birds and the bees, please.
Joni Mitchell
I'm drinking champagne, got the head phones up high, can't numb you out.
Joni Mitchell
All the news of home you read, more about the war and of bloody changes.
Joni Mitchell
I think I would go further into fine arts, I think, if I were to continue.
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
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
We are stardust, we are golden and we've got to get ourselves back to the garden.
Joni Mitchell
Do you want - do you want - do you want to dance with me baby?
Joni Mitchell
You've got to keep the child alive you can't create without it.
Joni Mitchell
