"One lifetime isn't enough to do everything."

"Don't let other people define you."

"The minute you settle, you're done growing."

"Always be yourself, unless you can be a legend. Then always be the legend."

"Janis was never about perfection—it was about passion."

"The real trick is to think, to find a little secret, a little truth in the song."
