More quotes by Linda Ronstadt
Being a celebrity made me so uncomfortable that I would have preferred standing behind the amplifiers.
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
American radio from the '30s through the '60s was just fabulous. There was such a diversity.
Linda Ronstadt
Everybody has their own level of doing their music. ... Mine just happened to resonate over the years, in one way and another, with a significant enough number of people so that I could do it professionally.
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
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 thing you have to be prepared for is that other people don't always dream your dream.
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
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
The essential elements of singing are voice, musicianship, and story. It is the rare artist that has all three in abundance.
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 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
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
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
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
The government has to spend money during a recession, because their spending is our earning.
Linda Ronstadt
The greatest sin is carelessness.
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
Don't know much, but I know I love you.
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
