More quotes by 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
When you love a song so much you have to sing, you know how you feel - it releases something in you that resonates as true, whether it's James Brown or Joni Mitchell.

Bonnie Raitt

Bonnie Raitt
It's a lot harder to be clear-headed, but the good stuff is when you start realizing who's really you.

I don't think there's ever been any music quite like what we came up with.
Bonnie Raitt
The fact is that this conversation is going on at every level at every age, we're all going, God, what a jerk I've been, How could I have married that guy? or How could I have done this or that? With time, this is the gift of being older, that you get to look back and say, It wasn't all about them.
Bonnie Raitt
We did a two month tour with Taj Mahal that was really healing and cathartic and a good distraction after my brother passed away. Then I knew I wanted to take a year off, and it was really nice to have that chance to fall apart.
Bonnie Raitt
One of the things that I'm glad about, though, is that regular people can relate to me.
Bonnie Raitt
Life gets mighty precious when there's less of it to waste.
Bonnie Raitt
There are a lot of people that never get their stories told.
