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.

Just the kind of girl I liked-the weirdo in the bunch.

Guess what, I might be the first hippie pinup girl.

The image is one thing, and the human being is another. It's very hard to live up to an image, put it that way.

When I wake up in the morning, I feel just like any other insecure 24-year-old girl.

I'm just a girl, With a dream that got the best of me, In a world that believes fame is everything.
