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.

More quotes by 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 was offered to take over for Reba in 'Annie Get Your Gun,' but it wasn't where I wanted to be. I think my fans would be upset if I confined my shows to one city for a long period of time.
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
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
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
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 connection between toxicity and cancer and safe air and water and food, all of that was important all along, as were women's and human rights issues, but the nuke issue and the safe energy movement became really important to me in the mid-'70s.
Bonnie Raitt
I speak my mind and come from a place of conscience, as well as have fun as a musician.
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
It's a lot harder to be clear-headed, but the good stuff is when you start realizing who's really you.
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
Maybe the idea of me is more powerful than I perceive myself being.
Bonnie Raitt
There are a lot of people that never get their stories told.
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
'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
I can't make you love me, if you don't.
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
I just want to be as good a person as I can be.
Bonnie Raitt
Religion is for people who are scared to go to hell. Spirituality is for people who have already been there.
