More quotes by Linda Ronstadt

Linda Ronstadt
Cocaine made people deaf, it made people dead and it made people real obnoxious.
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
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.

Love will abide, take things in stride.
Linda Ronstadt

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
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 wish I had as much in bed as I get in the newspapers.
Linda Ronstadt
I never went to the Beatles' concerts to scream. I never screamed at anybody's show. I was on my feet with the entire, all of the crowned heads of Motown, and we were shrieking our guts out.
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
Being a celebrity made me so uncomfortable that I would have preferred standing behind the amplifiers.
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
Music is a work in progress. On a record, it gets frozen in time. And it's oddly unnatural.
Linda Ronstadt
