Music is a work in progress. On a record, it gets frozen in time. And it's oddly unnatural.
Linda Ronstadt
Image
Life's full of loss, who knows the cost, living in the memory of the love that never was.
Linda Ronstadt
Image
Being an entertainer, especially in times like these, is really a public service.
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.

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.

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
Image
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
Image
The essential elements of singing are voice, musicianship, and story. It is the rare artist that has all three in abundance.
Linda Ronstadt
Image
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
Image
Don't know much, but I know I love you.
Linda Ronstadt
Image
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
Image
I wish I had as much in bed as I get in the newspapers.
Linda Ronstadt
Image
Art is for healing ourselves, and everybody needs their own personal art to heal up their problems.
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.
Linda Ronstadt

Being a celebrity made me so uncomfortable that I would have preferred standing behind the amplifiers.

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.

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.

The government has to spend money during a recession, because their spending is our earning.
