Joan Baez

That's all nonviolence is - organized love.

If people have to put labels on me, I'd prefer the first label to be human being, the second label to be pacifist, and the third to be folk singer.

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.

I'm lucky that I have whatever I had that makes me have a successful career, if you will.

My first career ambitions involved turning into a boy; I intended to be either a railway guard or a knight errant.

My style is Edie Sedgwick meets Grace Jones, or Audrey Hepburn meets Salt 'n' Pepa. Strong and feisty but still classic.
