I Just Want To Be As Good

I Grew Up In Los Angeles In A Quaker Family, And For Me Being Quaker Was A Political Calling Rather Than A Religious One.

Since I Was 20 Years Old, I've Been A Kind Of Corporation. I'd Wake Up In The Morning And My Job Was To Be 'bonnie Raitt' In Capital Letters.

I Never Saw Music In Terms Of Men And Women Or Black And White. There Was Just Cool And Uncool.

I'm Glad People Think I'm A Badass. I'm A Rock And Roller, And I'm An R&b And A Blueswoman. I Don't Do Fairy Music, Although I Love Celtic Music And Sensitive Music. There's A Balance Between Ballads And Kick-ass Songs.

I Would Rather Feel Things In Extreme Than Not At All.
