More quotes by Linda Ronstadt
Art is for healing ourselves, and everybody needs their own personal art to heal up their problems.
Linda Ronstadt
This is an election year, and I think we're in desperate trouble and it's time for people to speak up and not pipe down. It's a real conflict for me when I go to a concert and find out somebody in the audience is a Republican or fundamental Christian. It can cloud my enjoyment. I'd rather not know.
Linda Ronstadt
I wish I had as much in bed as I get in the newspapers.
Linda Ronstadt
I believe in the empirical wisdom of science, just to start with, so I hope that there might be some treatment out there that might be helpful.
Linda Ronstadt
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
The essential elements of singing are voice, musicianship, and story. It is the rare artist that has all three in abundance.
Linda Ronstadt
American radio from the '30s through the '60s was just fabulous. There was such a diversity.
Linda Ronstadt
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.
Linda Ronstadt
Life's full of loss, who knows the cost, living in the memory of the love that never was.
Linda Ronstadt
Marijuana has a lot of very good medical uses, and I truly believe it should be legal, but for just recreational use it wasn't my drug. I didn't like it.
Linda Ronstadt
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.
Linda Ronstadt
A lot of singers that I've heard that I may not like their sensibility, but I see that they're entitled to whatever they get. People don't get there without talent, they really don't.
Linda Ronstadt
When I was taking arithmetic in the first grade I said to myself, I'm going to be a singer. I don't have to worry about numbers. I didn't think I was going to be famous or a star.
Linda Ronstadt
I dont think you can look for love. All you can do is get yourself in a situation where you dont discourage something that may be rather nice.
Linda Ronstadt
I can't sing half as well as Claudia Lennear. Hats off to her, but somehow, things happened for me.
Linda Ronstadt
I love sex as much as I love music, and I think it's as hard to do.
Linda Ronstadt
the relentless touring and endless repetition of the same songs over and over again promoted a creeping awareness that my music had begun to sound like my washing machine.
Linda Ronstadt
When I would be on the stage singing, I would see a movie of something that happened, I would be telling the story. I would be describing the story in sound, but my goal would be to make somebody else run their own movie.
Linda Ronstadt
I just thought that I was going to get to sing for a living and I wouldn't have to go to work in the department store or whatever else you did if you were a woman in those days.
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
