 This whole thing that`s happened to me, you see, this whole success thing, er, it hasn`t yet really compromised the position that I took a long time ago in Texas, that was to be true to myself, to be the person that I f ... that was on inside of me and not play games. You see, actually what I`m trying to do mostly, if I, in the whole world, is to not bullshit myself, and not bullshit anybody else. To be righteous to myself, I mean to be real, you know what I mean ? And so far, you know I`m, I`m just tryin` to ... I`m doin` that, I am, you know. I`m not wearin` cardboard eyelashes, and, and, you know, and girdles, and playin` in Las Vegas. By still bein` Janis, I just happens to be on a slightly different level or somethin` now. And ... you know I suppose it`s because I`ve never been premeditated enough in show-business that I was worried about putting on a, a face, you know what I mean ? So I can sit here and tell you the truth. You know ? Otherwise it`s slightly inhibiting, really, it doesn`t, it doesn`t f
orce a game on me, because I refuse to let it force a game on me. So I can sit here and be just as honest as I would be in a bar, although I`d be a lot happier in a bar!
