I didn't go through the routine of singing in small clubs and doing open mics and working so hard the way a lot of people do and did. It was just an overnight kind of thing.
From Joan Baez
Instead of getting hard ourselves and trying to compete, women should try and give their best qualities to men - bring them softness, teach them how to cry.
Mostly what I listen to when I turn on my little iPod is opera.
That's all nonviolence is - organized love.
Hypothetical questions get hypothetical answers.
I think music has the power to transform people, and in doing so, it has the power to transform situations - some large and some small.
I see a young man playing 'Plaisir d'Amour' on guitar. I knew I didn't want to go to college; I was already playing a ukulele, and after I saw that, I was hooked. All I wanted to do was play guitar and sing.
Someone had to change the world. And obviously I was the one for the job.
The only thing that's been a worse flop than the organization of non-violence has been the organization of violence.
It seems to me that those songs that have been any good, I have nothing much to do with the writing of them. The words have just crawled down my sleeve and come out on the page.
