More quotes by Bonnie Raitt
There are a lot of people that never get their stories told.
Bonnie Raitt
One of the things that I'm glad about, though, is that regular people can relate to me.
Bonnie Raitt
The anti-nuke movement has important and far-reaching implications for grassroots organizing. It can unite kids and musicians, everybody, whether they're leftist or rightist, or radical, or Republican, because energy is energy. But in fact, it is a real political struggle - it shows people that it's big business against the people.
Bonnie Raitt
In 1967 I entered Harvard as a freshman, confident - in the way that only 17-year-olds are - that I could change the world. My major was African Studies, and my plan was to travel to Tanzania, where President Julius Nyerere was creating a government based on democracy and socialism.
Bonnie Raitt
We can choose, you know, we ain't no amoeba.
Bonnie Raitt
I'm glad I get singled out for my slide guitar-playing, which isn't that difficult to do. I didn't take guitar lessons, but I just love the way it sounds, almost like the human voice.
Bonnie Raitt
There would be no rock and roll or rhythm and blues without Leo Fenders' contribution ... the tone is everything
Bonnie Raitt
I grew up in Los Angeles in a Quaker family, and for me being Quaker was a political calling rather than a religious one.
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
One of the biggest obstacles I've overcome in my life was thinking I didn't deserve to be successful. Artistically I'm not as much of a heavyweight as someone like Paul Simon or Joni Mitchell, because I'm not a creator of original music, and I worried about that for years.
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
The women's movement resurgence of standing up for so many things that were kind of sleepy there for a decade or so, there's been a reawakening and I think the consciousness movement in general is dovetailing with a lot of recovery and self-empowerment.
Bonnie Raitt
It's a lot harder to be clear-headed, but the good stuff is when you start realizing who's really you.
Bonnie Raitt
My love was Bob Dylan, but as I got older I realized a good ballad was a good ballad.
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
Since I was 20 years old, I've been a kind of corporation. I'd wake up in the morning and my job was to be 'Bonnie Raitt' in capital letters.
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
It is still a surprise when people tell me that I've had an influence on them, particularly when it's someone I really respect.
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 can't make you love me if you don't, You can't make your heart feel something it won't.
Bonnie Raitt
