More quotes by Linda Ronstadt
Cocaine made people deaf, it made people dead and it made people real obnoxious.
Linda Ronstadt
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
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
Art is for healing ourselves, and everybody needs their own personal art to heal up their problems.
Linda Ronstadt
Being an entertainer, especially in times like these, is really a public service.
Linda Ronstadt
Music is a work in progress. On a record, it gets frozen in time. And it's oddly unnatural.
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
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
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 thing you have to be prepared for is that other people don't always dream your dream.
Linda Ronstadt
I can sing better after shooting smack in both arms than after eating too much.
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 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
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
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
I think musicians are always supportive of each other because they want the groove to keep going on. They just basically want to play music.
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
The essential elements of singing are voice, musicianship, and story. It is the rare artist that has all three in abundance.
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
