But I'm a hot-blooded Italian by nature. Whatever the situation you present, I'm going to make something out of it.

When I cut my hair, the whole sound changed, my style changed.

Sometimes I am two people. Johnny is the nice one. Cash causes all the trouble. They fight.

People expect Janis Joplin to be a tough bitch, and say I start talking to them like a lonely little girl-that's not in their image of me-they don't see it. Say you meet somebody you've heard about, you don't ever see them, you don't see who they are and who they need to be recognized as, you see who you need them to be.

I'm a good girl because I really believe in love, integrity, and respect.

I know the aspect of my personality, being the vixen, the heartbreaker and the incredibly provocative girl is a very marketable image, but it's not insincere. You just can't take it seriously.
