'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.

More quotes by Bonnie Raitt
I just want to be as good a person as I can be.
Bonnie Raitt
The generation I grew up in was the beginning of stand up for yourself, whether being a singer-songwriter or a feminist. In my college years, the feminist movement was really coming to fore, so we wouldn't have put up with guys treating us less than equal.
Bonnie Raitt
I'm in a relationship, and I've been in one in a while, but all the people I've been with at various points - and I've had sequentially monogamous relationships my whole life - were all the right people at the right time.
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 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
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
Pat Benatar might need a rock band, but I can just sit with a blues guitar for an hour and a half and do folk songs and great contemporary ballads, and not many people can pull that off.
Bonnie Raitt
I don't think there's ever been any music quite like what we came up with.
Bonnie Raitt
Jazz and blues fests are everywhere now, and Americana is going strong on college radio. What I'm hearing is an appreciation of real music.
Bonnie Raitt
A lot of political music to me can be rather pedantic and corny, and when it's done right - like Bruce Springsteen or Jackson Browne or great satire from Randy Newman, there's nothing better.
Bonnie Raitt
I never saw music in terms of men and women or black and white. There was just cool and uncool.
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
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
I think people must wonder how a white girl like me became a blues guitarist. The truth is, I never intended to do this for a living.
Bonnie Raitt
There are a lot of people that never get their stories told.
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
The great thing about the arts, and especially popular music, is that it really does cut across genres and races and classes.
Bonnie Raitt
Maybe the idea of me is more powerful than I perceive myself being.
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.
