Joni Mitchell's quotes

  • [addressing young people who may romanticize the 1960s] Don't just ape our movement. Don't do hippie poses. Look at us. Admit to yourself that we only took it so far. Build from where we left off.
  • My favorite line in all of literature is Rudyard Kipling's monkey: "My people are the wisest people in the jungle, my people have always said so."
  • When the world becomes a massive mess with nobody at the helm, it's time for artists to make their mark.
  • We all suffer from our loneliness, but at the time of Blue our pop stars never admitted these things. Now, I'm a public person, and my life's an open book.
  • [Chrissie Hynde on Joni Mitchell] "I don't know any guitar player, any of the real greats, who don't rate Joni Mitchell up there with the best of them."
  • I'm only a groupie for Picasso and Leonard (Cohen).
  • [on the possibility that Taylor Swift might be portraying her on screen] All you've got is a girl with high cheekbones.
  • [on Bob Dylan] Bob is not authentic at all. He's a plagiarist, and his name and voice are fake. Everything about Bob is a deception.
  • [on Madonna] Americans have decided to be stupid and shallow since 1980. Madonna is like Nero; she marks the turning point.
