Quotes By Rosanna Arquette

Music used to change people's minds - and it still changes mine.

I was in Florida with Burt Stern, the photographer who shot Marilyn Monroe on the beach with a sweater, and we smoked a joint. The bathing suit kept coming off in the water, and I just ripped it off. I was very comfortable being naked.

I love music and musicians. And seeing great artists dropped from labels was really frustrating and sad to me.

Most men are not that evolved.

It's unfortunate that music has become such big business.
