More quotes by Bonnie Raitt

Bonnie Raitt
The fifth member of my band is my non-profit work.
Bonnie Raitt
The one thing I know is that if you're not paying attention, it will come back to bite you.
Bonnie Raitt

I'm one of those people who just doesn't plan my personal life. I plan my professional life.
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
AC/DC's 'Highway to Hell' is the greatest meshing of vocal, guitar, and content I've ever heard. That's what I aspire to.

With the new ways of getting music out, you don't need a label if you're a legacy artist.
Bonnie Raitt
There's lots of flaws and frailties and cracks in the armor, and nobody wants to put themselves out there as some kind of Joan of Arc because none of us can live up to that, but I'm grateful to be a role model and be respected because I have a whole slew of people, men and women, that I feel the same way about.
Bonnie Raitt
I'm proud of the way I rearrange and put things together, like a chef who makes a great meal, or a filmmaker who puts together a story - it's casting, editing, cinematography.
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.
