More quotes by 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
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
One of the things that I'm glad about, though, is that regular people can relate to me.
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
My love was Bob Dylan, but as I got older I realized a good ballad was a good ballad.
Bonnie Raitt
The fifth member of my band is my non-profit work.
Bonnie Raitt
I'm honored when young people say they've gone to school on slide guitar with my records. But people get their influence from my live shows and records and YouTube, not me personally. I walk around with a hat on. People don't know it's me.
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 have been really heartened by how much coverage there has been about inequality of pay across the board, between the entertainment industry and almost every industry worldwide. And just the problem of young women not getting an education, not being able to have an equal position in the cultures all around the world.
Bonnie Raitt
I would like to inspire a lot of people to be active and give back.
Bonnie Raitt
Quakers are known for wanting to give back. Ban the bomb and the civil rights movement and the native American struggle for justice - those things were very, very front-burner in my childhood, as were the ideas of working for peace and if you have more than you need, then you share it with people who don't.
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
The one thing I know is that if you're not paying attention, it will come back to bite you.
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 can't make you love me, if you don't.
Bonnie Raitt
You don't have to look a certain way to have a hit record.
Bonnie Raitt
With the new ways of getting music out, you don't need a label if you're a legacy artist.
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'm happy to have been a positive influence.
Bonnie Raitt
There are so many people out there working with great grassroots and global and national organizations that are unsung heroes to me.
