Janis Joplin People Quotations

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.

People, whether they know it or not, like their blues singers miserable. They like their blues singers to die afterwards.

I believe the only people who truly experience and test the application of equality are twins.

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.

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

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

I'm one of those regular weird people.
