“After the show, everyone was backstage and was starting to leave and so forth. And I went back out into the arena and the roadies were all there doing the load out and Joni Mitchell’s sitting at the piano all by herself, the house lights on and everything. And I just went up and started taking pictures of her at the piano—How did she like that?—Mmm [laughs] Yeah, she loved it.”—Richard Upper, 2021.
“I felt exposed, like I couldn’t have people in the room witnessing me. I couldn’t really be around people. I felt too vulnerable. I felt like everybody could see into me and see that I was suffering.”—Joni Mitchell, Los Angeles Times, 2021.
