Famous quotes by Janis Joplin:

"If I hold back, I'm no good. I'm no good. I'd rather be good sometimes, than holding back all the time."

"On stage, I make love to 25,000 different people, then I go home alone"

"Why should I hold back now and sound mediocre just so I can sound mediocre twenty years from now?"

"It's gonna be a long hard drag, but we'll make it"

"Being an intellectual creates a lot of questions and no answers. You can fill your life up with ideas and still go home lonely. All you really have that really matters are feelings. That's what music is to me."

"You got to get it while you can. . ."

"I'm one of those regular weird people."

"As a matter of fact, as we discovered on the train, tomorrow never happens, man. It's all the same f***ing day, man."

"I'd trade all my tommorows for a single yesterday"

"Don't compromise yourself. You are all you've got."

"Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz."

"You know why we're stuck with the myth that only black people have soul? Because white people don't let themselves feel things."

"When I sing, I feel like when you're first in love. It's more than sex. It's that point two people can get to they call love, when you really touch someone for the first time, but it's gigantic, multiplied by the whole audience. I feel chills."

"Guess what, I might be the first hippie pinup girl."

"Audiences like their blues singers to be miserable."

"I always wanted to be an artist, whatever that was, like other chicks want to be stewardesses. I read. I painted. I thought."

"On stage I make love to twenty five thousand people; and then I go home alone."

"I got treated very badly in Texas. They don't treat beatniks too good in Texas. Port Arthur people thought I was a beatnik, though they'd never seen one and neither had I."

"Texas is OK if you want to settle down and do your own thing quietly, but it's not for outrageous people, and I was always outrageous."

"Being an intellectual creates a lot of questions and no answers."
