“ Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz? ”
On stage I make love to twenty-five thousand people then I go home alone.
~ Janis Joplin
Don't compromise yourself. You are all you've got.
I'm a victim of my own insides. There was a time when I wanted to know everything. It used to make me very unhappy, all that feeling. I just didn't know what to do with it. But now I've learned to make that feeling work for me.
Billie Holiday, Aretha Franklin. Now, they are so subtle, they can milk you with two notes. They can make you feel like they told you the whole universe. But I don't know that yet. All I got now is strength. Maybe if I keep singing, maybe I'll get it.
