More quotes by Linda Ronstadt
I can sing better after shooting smack in both arms than after eating too much.
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
If you don't have story to tell the public at large - you have to be able to sort of go listen.
Linda Ronstadt
Even though I know how very far apart we are, it helps to think we might be wishing underneath the same bright star.
Linda Ronstadt
I never wrote anything down. I never kept a diary, never kept a journal. I did write one letter home about touring with the Doors that I used as a reference for the book for some details there, and then I was glad I had that, but that was it.
Linda Ronstadt
Art is for healing ourselves, and everybody needs their own personal art to heal up their problems.
Linda Ronstadt
Music is a work in progress. On a record, it gets frozen in time. And it's oddly unnatural.
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
Don't know much, but I know I love you.
Linda Ronstadt
Everywhere you go, there's a soundtrack. You can't really quite hear it. It's just a little out of the range of hearing.
Linda Ronstadt
American radio from the '30s through the '60s was just fabulous. There was such a diversity.
Linda Ronstadt
I love sex as much as I love music, and I think it's as hard to do.
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 think if the United States gave anything to culture at large in the 20th century, the most important contribution made was the popular song.
Linda Ronstadt
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.
Linda Ronstadt
The greatest sin is carelessness.
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
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
You and I, travel to the beat of a different drum, can't you tell by the way I run, every time you make eyes at me.
Linda Ronstadt
Love will abide, take things in stride.
Linda Ronstadt
