Janis Joplin Quotations

In my insides, it really hurts if someone doesn't like me. It's silly.

I love being a star more than life itself.

You better not compromise yourself, it's all you've got.

Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of beer.

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.

My father wouldn't get us a TV, he wouldn't allow a TV in the house.

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

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.

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?
