Janis Joplin: "Don?t compromise yourself."

"Don?t compromise yourself. You?re all you?ve got." ~ Janis Joplin
What reminded me of this photo and her quote was a recent obituary of the photographer Jim Marshall.
He commented in the article: ?Some people said I shouldn?t have published that picture of her lying back, with the bottle in her hand, but I?ll defend it to the death. People said her legs looked too fat.
?But Janis said, ?Hey, that?s a great shot because it?s how it is sometimes. Lousy.? ?
?You know, I don?t really care if Janis liked the picture or not; it was an honest, strong picture. It just happened that she liked it a lot.? [1]
