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.

Bonnie Raitt
I speak my mind and come from a place of conscience, as well as have fun as a musician.
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
Maybe the idea of me is more powerful than I perceive myself being.

I grew up in Los Angeles in a Quaker family, and for me being Quaker was a political calling rather than a religious one.
