The government has to spend money during a recession, because their spending is our earning.
Linda Ronstadt
Image
I get on the airplane and there's a screen in front of everything. You get into a taxicab in New York, there's a screen blinking at you. I think it's going to have a tremendous effect on our brains, because those bright, saturated colors and those strong lines, they do things to your brain.

Music isn't just for professionals. We delegate all of our music and our dancing and our art to professionals. It's silly. We should be doing our own dancing and drawing.
Linda Ronstadt

If you don't have story to tell the public at large - you have to be able to sort of go listen.
Linda Ronstadt
Image
So goodbye, I'll be leaving, I see no sense in this crying and grieving. We'll both live a lot longer, if you live without me.
Linda Ronstadt
Image
I think if the United States gave anything to culture at large in the 20th century, the most important contribution made was the popular song.

I think if you do what's in your heart - Joseph Campbell always says you have to follow your bliss, and if you do, doors open where you didn't even realize there were doors.

Art is for healing ourselves, and everybody needs their own personal art to heal up their problems.
Linda Ronstadt
Image
Your musical soul is like facets of a jewel, and you stick out one facet at a time ... (and) I tend to work real hard on whatever it is I do, to get it up to speed, up to a professional level. I tend to bury myself in one thing for years at a time.

Don't know much, but I know I love you.
