JONI MITCHELL on her concerns as an artist:
"The search for love, which is an evasive search. Being drawn by that evasive thing into meeting with individuals. Finding out that they are either incompatible or inflict damage of some kind. An examination of the reason why, and the anger that accompanies the sense of failure -- an analysis of the crime. The pursuit of love in the romantic sense, which leads inevitably to cynicism. The avoidance of cynicism for the development of an ironic point of view. I still do fall into illusion myself from time to time -- romantic illusion is a veil for me, and this foolish veil sweeps me away."
Love is the mucillage that sticks the construction-paper pumpkins in the scrapbooks of our lives.
-- David Mamet
