Text Quotes
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 Quotes) 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 Quotes) 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 Quotes) I never really wanted to be a star. I didn’t like entering a room with all eyes on me. I still don’t really like the attention of a birthday party.  (Joni Mitchell Quotes) No one likes to have less than they had before. That’s the nature of the human animal.  (Joni Mitchell Quotes) Everyone I know has attention deficit, and they say it with great pride. It’s a bad time to be right.  (Joni Mitchell Quotes) 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 Quotes) I love Radiohead, which most people don’t expect, and I listen to everything from Stevie Wonder to Steely Dan, Carole King, The Beach Boys, The Kinks, Beyonce Knowles, Vampire Weekend, The Beatles, Joni Mitchell, Burt Bacharach, and Paul Simon.  (Joni Mitchell Quotes) The rock and 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 Quotes) I don’t like being too looked up at or too looked down on. I prefer meeting in the middle to being worshiped or spat out.  (Joni Mitchell Quotes) 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.  (Joni Mitchell Quotes) You can give me 400,000 hostile people and I won’t even break sweat. If you give me 200 adoring people, my mouth will dry out.  (Joni Mitchell Quotes) My parents are music fans, even though neither of them play an instrument. I was exposed to their record collection, so I love everything from Joni Mitchell to Bruce Springsteen.  (Joni Mitchell Quotes) Buddy Holly and the early rock ‘n’ roll was no lighter than the way I play. It’s very minimal.  (Joni Mitchell Quotes) Bows and flows of angel hair and ice cream castles in the air and feather canyons everywhere, I’ve looked at clouds that way.  (Joni Mitchell Quotes) They’ll crucify you for staying the same, and they’ll crucify you for change. I’d rather be crucified for changing.  (Joni Mitchell Quotes) I prefer Christmas, which is everybody’s holiday. It’s just my nature. I don’t like to be zeroed in on en masse.  (Joni Mitchell Quotes) Lord, there’s danger in this land, you get witch hunts and wars when church and state hold hands.  (Joni Mitchell Quotes) Eventually, with success, I started to feel more and more isolated - like I didn’t have a community of artists.  (Joni Mitchell Quotes) 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 Quotes) When the spirit of child’s play enters into the creative process, it’s a wonderful force and something to be nurtured.  (Joni Mitchell Quotes) The thing that started me painting originally was seeing Bambi when I was about nine. I was incredibly disturbed by the forest fire that killed Bambi’s mother, and that distress gave me the impulse to create something, as a way of dealing with it.  (Joni Mitchell Quotes) The thing that gave me the most pain in life, psychologically, and it gave me tremendous pain psychologically, is man’s disrespect for nature.  (Joni Mitchell Quotes) I see the entire world as Eden, and every time you take an inch of it away, you must do so with respect.  (Joni Mitchell Quotes) All my battles were with male egos. I’m just looking for equality, not to dominate. But I want to be able to control my vision.  (Joni Mitchell Quotes) Love is a very hard feeling to keep alive. It’s a very fragile plant.  (Joni Mitchell Quotes) My first four albums covered the usual youth problems - looking for love in all the wrong places - while the next five are basically about being in your 30s.  (Joni Mitchell Quotes) The land of litigation, the courts are like game shows. Take what’s behind the curtain the jury cries.  (Joni Mitchell Quotes) Nobody understood The Reoccurring Dream, but after September 11, when we were coerced to do a national duty and go out and shop, surely people could begin to see what I was getting at.  (Joni Mitchell Quotes) Keep a good heart. That’s the most important thing in life. It’s not how much money you make or what you can acquire. The art of it is to keep a good heart.  (Joni Mitchell Quotes)
