More quotes by Bonnie Raitt
It's very personal in California to live within hours, and sometimes just a few miles, of earthquake faults when nuclear plants were being built.
Bonnie Raitt
It's so thrilling. And not just the music. The Internet is changing the future of fund-raising. I'm thrilled by the potential.
Bonnie Raitt
I can't make you love me, if you don't.
Bonnie Raitt
When they were putting oil rigs up and down the California coast, the whole issue of safe energy and the addiction to fossil fuels really came into focus.
Bonnie Raitt
The great thing about the arts, and especially popular music, is that it really does cut across genres and races and classes.
Bonnie Raitt
There were so many great music and political scenes going on in the late '60s in Cambridge. The ratio of guys to girls at Harvard was four to one, so all of those things were playing in my mind.
Bonnie Raitt
Life is simple yet complex, in the complexity we realize everything is simple for we create our own happiness, our own sadness & our own destiny by not making a choice you have chosen so face life with courage and faith in yourself.
Bonnie Raitt
Some people are caricatures of themselves, and some people keep people coming back and keep themselves growing. Otherwise, the fans would get bored.
Bonnie Raitt
I just want to be as good a person as I can be.

I grew up in Los Angeles in a Quaker family, and for me being Quaker was a political calling rather than a religious one.

Elvis might have compromised his musical style a bit towards the end, but that doesn't mean that artists from the rock n' roll/folk-roots culture - of which he was not really a part - shouldn't get better as they get older, like the great jazz or blues artists.
Bonnie Raitt
Leading a band and producing yourself and picking cool tunes and putting a show together takes a lot of thought, and a certain amount of courage. In my early twenties, if I wasn't getting good enough at it, then people would not come and see me. Anybody who has lasted this long - I hope we get better with age.
Bonnie Raitt
My career is based on the slow build of an audience based on putting on a good show live and putting out a record every couple of years. I was already doing really well in terms of my goals, to keep my fans coming back.
Bonnie Raitt
I learned a lot about what it was like to have to use different hotels and not use the bathrooms, which made me more determined to be an activist.
Bonnie Raitt
I'm the same on stage as I am off stage. A lot of people who I admire - Bruce Springsteen, Jackson Browne - are not that different either. You hope that if you met them that they'd be as nice and well-rounded as they appear.
Bonnie Raitt
I'm one of those people who just doesn't plan my personal life. I plan my professional life.
Bonnie Raitt
I learned by experience that you can change your circumstance. It's as simple as the serenity prayer it's a very, very real thing.
Bonnie Raitt
I don't want to discredit people's opinions of me, but you talk about the violin or the cello or lead guitar where you have to learn tons of chords, that's much more difficult.
Bonnie Raitt
With the new ways of getting music out, you don't need a label if you're a legacy artist.
Bonnie Raitt
'I Will Not Be Broken' has really become very healing for me. Any time you go through a cataclysmic event... it's going to inform the richness that you sing from... The experiences of life make all your emotions, I think, deeper.
Bonnie Raitt
