Roberta Joan Anderson sat down for a personal, reflective interview in November 1986. The interviewer, Joe Smith, was a longtime record executive who interviewed hundreds of music legends as part of his book, Off The Record. In this extended conversation with Joni we hear an artist come to grips with both her rise to fame and the price that she felt she paid for experimenting in her career and not seeking hits and fame alone.
More Joni
"I was young for my age. Not as naïve as they expected. I don’t know why I seem to bring that out in people."
"If you see yourself as a kingly type, then you need your serfs and your army and someone around you."
"I thought, ‘All things considered, I’d rather be dancing.’"
"I didn’t like the sound of people gasping at the mere mention of my name. It horrified me."
