More quotes by 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
Life is simple yet complex, in the complexity we realize everything is simple for we create our own happiness, our own sadness & our own destiny by not making a choice you have chosen so face life with courage and faith in yourself.
Bonnie Raitt
I didn't have to be a pop singer with a certain look. When I started, there was really a revolution in natural artists with blues and folk artists crossing over otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to get started.
Bonnie Raitt
I never saw music in terms of men and women or black and white. There was just cool and uncool.
Bonnie Raitt
We can choose, you know, we ain't no amoeba.
Bonnie Raitt
I don't think there's ever been any music quite like what we came up with.
Bonnie Raitt
I'm one of those people who just doesn't plan my personal life. I plan my professional life.
Bonnie Raitt
My love was Bob Dylan, but as I got older I realized a good ballad was a good ballad.
Bonnie Raitt
I've been lucky enough that I can gather all sorts of experiences and find inspiration by traveling around and by spending time with people I admire.
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.
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
When it's a funky uptempo song, you're basically having the same kind of release you would have when you have sex, only it lasts longer. Whether you're playing it on the guitar or on the dance floor, you're in that moment.
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
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
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
I learned a lot about what it was like to have to use different hotels and not use the bathrooms, which made me more determined to be an activist.
Bonnie Raitt
Life gets mighty precious when there's less of it to waste.
Bonnie Raitt
Elvis might have compromised his musical style a bit towards the end, but that doesn't mean that artists from the rock n' roll/folk-roots culture - of which he was not really a part - shouldn't get better as they get older, like the great jazz or blues artists.
