More quotes by Bonnie Raitt

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
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
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
I don't think there's ever been any music quite like what we came up with.

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 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
One of the biggest obstacles I've overcome in my life was thinking I didn't deserve to be successful. Artistically I'm not as much of a heavyweight as someone like Paul Simon or Joni Mitchell, because I'm not a creator of original music, and I worried about that for years.
Bonnie Raitt
You don't have to look a certain way to have a hit record.
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
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'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
One of the things that I'm glad about, though, is that regular people can relate to me.
Bonnie Raitt
It's very personal in California to live within hours, and sometimes just a few miles, of earthquake faults when nuclear plants were being built.
Bonnie Raitt
Ugly ducklings don't turn into swans and glide off down the lake. Whether your sunglasses are on or off, you only see the world you make.
Bonnie Raitt
AC/DC's 'Highway to Hell' is the greatest meshing of vocal, guitar, and content I've ever heard. That's what I aspire to.
