Janis Joplin sings the blues as hard as any black person.

I don't think anybody steals anything; all of us borrow.

We all have idols. Play like anyone you care about but try to be yourself while you're doing so.

I've put up with more humiliation than I care to remember.

I don’t like to feel that I owe anything. I like to feel that I pay my own way, no free lunch.

Nobody loves me but my mother, And she could be jivin' too.

I don't think it's meant for man to know everything at once.
