I got a big mouth, I can't help it. I talk from my heart, I'm real.

I am not a perfectionist, but still I seek perfection. I am not a great romantic, but yet I yearn for affection.

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.

My personality is up and down, sassy and cheeky.

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

Hippies believe the world could be a better place. Beatniks believe things aren't going to get better and say the hell with it, stay stoned and have a good time.
