“I wanted to sing when I was little. That's what I liked doing. It didn...” — Linda Ronstadt Quote

I wanted to sing when I was little. That's what I liked doing. It didn't occur to me that you became famous or anything like that.

For years, I've been interviewed, and they write what they thought I thought or what they thought I said. Sometimes it's accurate, and often it isn't.

Sometimes I was frivolous. Did you have some frivolous years? I had to live mine out in public.

I used to live with J.D. Souther, and I would watch him write. He's be sitting, he'd say something, and then he'd write it down. That's craft.

The smell of the carpet in a hotel room is the same everywhere.

It didn't even occur to me that I could use my strong image in cinema to propagate my political ideas. To me, cinema was cinema and politics was politics.

You don't have to wait for a tragedy to occur to rush to help those in need.

All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred.

I was always making things. Even though art was what I did every day, it didn't even occur to me that I would be an artist.

I don't offer advice to actors only because I've seen actors become successful through ways that would never even occur to me or that wouldn't work for me.
