False face must hide what the false heart doth know.

Beware the false motives of others. Be careful of those who pretend to be brothers. And you never suppose it's those who are closest to you.

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.

People think I'm an ogre at times. Some girls hissed at me in the street...'You devil.' They think we're really nasty. But that's only on stage. Off stage, well I'm certainly not an ogre.

I can't help myself because basically I'm a softie I have this hard, macho shell - which I project on stage but there's a much softer side. too, which melts like butter.

Dying on the inside, but outside you're looking fearless.
