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.

Action is the antidote to despair.

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

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

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