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

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
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
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
I can sing better after shooting smack in both arms than after eating too much.
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
The government has to spend money during a recession, because their spending is our earning.
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
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 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
