JANIS JOPLINI started singing rhythmically, and now I’m learning from Otis Redding to push a song instead of just sliding over it
JANIS JOPLINThat’s what rock and roll is for, turn that switch on, and man, it can all be.
JANIS JOPLINMaybe my audiences can enjoy my music more if they think I’m destroying myself.
JANIS JOPLINIt used to make me unhappy, all that feeling. I just didn’t know what to do with it. But now I’ve learned how to make feeling work for me…
JANIS JOPLINYou have to sing loud and move wild with all that in back of you. Now, I don’t know how to perform any other way.
JANIS JOPLINYou got to get it while you can.
JANIS JOPLINWhen I sing, I feel like when you’re first in love. It’s more than sex.
JANIS JOPLINIt’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.
JANIS JOPLINFreedom is just another word for when you have NOTHING left to lose.
JANIS JOPLINHoney, if you’ve had your eye on a piece of talent and that chick down the road has been getting all the action, then you know what you gotta do… Try A Little Bit Harder.
JANIS JOPLINHippies believe the world could be a better place. Beatniks believe things aren’t going to get better and say the hell with it, stay stoned and have a good time.
JANIS JOPLINThe older the grapes, sweeter the wine.
JANIS JOPLINI read a story about some old opera singer once, and when a guy asked her to marry him, she took him backstage after she had sung a real triumph, with all the people calling for her, asked, ‘Do you think you could give me that?’
JANIS JOPLINMaybe they’ll have a second thought – that they can be themselves and win.
JANIS JOPLINIf someone comes along, gonna give you some love and affection, I say get it while you can.
