153 Quotes by Janis Joplin

I don't know what happened. I just exploded. I'd never sung like that before. I used to stand still and sing simple, but you can't sing like that in front of a rock band. You 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.

If someone comes along, gonna give you some love and affection, I say get it while you can.

When everything is together - the band, me, the audience, it's boss! It's just like magic.

Don't you know that you're nothing more than a one night stand?

Wait a minute, maybe I can do anything.

I read, I painted, I didn't hate niggers,

At least we know we tend to be afraid. If you object to my plural noun, I'll retract it.

I talk to the audience, look into their eyes. I need them and they need me.

If you've got a today, don't wear it tomorrow. Tomorrow never happens. It's all the same day.
