More quotes by Bonnie Raitt
It's always enjoyable to listen to a friend's work, but if it doesn't resonate with you, then you can just appreciate it and it inspires you in its own way.
Bonnie Raitt
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.
Bonnie Raitt
My career is based on the slow build of an audience based on putting on a good show live and putting out a record every couple of years. I was already doing really well in terms of my goals, to keep my fans coming back.
Bonnie Raitt
We can choose, you know, we ain't no amoeba.

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
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
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
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
I'm happy to have been a positive influence.
Bonnie Raitt
I don't think there's ever been any music quite like what we came up with.
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
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
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 speak my mind and come from a place of conscience, as well as have fun as a musician.
Bonnie Raitt
I'm one of those people who just doesn't plan my personal life. I plan my professional life.
Bonnie Raitt
There are so many people out there working with great grassroots and global and national organizations that are unsung heroes to me.
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
One of the things that I'm glad about, though, is that regular people can relate to me.
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.
