More From Joni Mitchell

I've tried to be a better person... i've tried, and tried and tried! you know how hard i've tried! tell me how i've tried..." "nice try... five cents, please!

I'd like to be remembered as a guy who tried - who tried to be part of his times, tried to help people communicate with one another, tried to find some decency in his own life, tried to extend himself as a human being. someone who isn't complacent, who doesn't cop out.

I couldn't make ends meet. i tried red lobster. i tried wal-mart. i tried all these places and i couldn't make it. i couldn't. so, i tried this gentlemen's club, and, you know, i worked there, and it was just awful in those places. it was terrible.

We tried to have diplomas without learning, we tried to have jobs without work, we tried to have houses without savings, we tried to have government without responsibility.

But [pooh] couldn't sleep. the more he tried to sleep the more he couldn't. he tried counting sheep, which is sometimes a good way of getting to sleep, and, as that was no good, he tried counting heffalumps. and that was worse. because every heffalump that he counted was making straight for a pot of pooh's honey, and eating it all. for some minutes he lay there miserably, but when the five hundred and eighty-seventh heffalump was licking its jaws, and saying to itself, "very good honey this, i don't know when i've tasted better," pooh could bear it no longer.

At 13 years old, i realized i could start my own band. i could write my own song, i could record my own record. i could start my own label. i could release my own record. i could book my own shows. i could write and publish my own fanzine. i could silk-screen my own t-shirt. i could do this all myself.
