More quotes by Carly Simon
I try to get to those peculiar and particular things that you never think of to say.
Carly Simon
All men are created equal and all women are created equal as well, but [equality] seems much clearer when it comes to race issues. In the realms of man/woman, man/man, woman/woman love, it seems all up for grabs now. We are exploring so much, but I think we gotta go for the fight for all equality first.
Carly Simon
Being in this business for as long as I've been in it, it's sort of like living in a town or a city before the war and then after the war and then during the reconstruction and then during the time that it sprawls out to the malls.
Carly Simon
You know, when I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1997 I realized I had spent too long arranging my attitude.
Carly Simon
I've always thought of myself as being a warrior. When you actually have a battle, it's better than when you don't know who to fight.
Carly Simon

Carly Simon
You know, people want to honor me, and on the one hand I just don't want to be a poster child but on the other, I want to do something classy and great - something where the residuals will go to the cause.
Carly Simon
But I'm lost when it comes to you.
Carly Simon
I think that I've got some pretty bad reviews on albums or songs that later proved themselves.
Carly Simon
It's like The Mold in Dr. Florey's Coat, about the discovery of penicillin. Out of these strange accidents come huge discoveries. A certain purple bleeds into red and all of a sudden you have something unexpected.
Carly Simon
One of the things that has always motivated me to write is the desire to get it out and look at it in an objective way, so that it doesn't cause me any serious pain by staying inside.
Carly Simon
Life is a dream even in its most painful moments, it's a dream that we can dance to.
Carly Simon
I'm still more comfortable with standards than with my own songs.
Carly Simon
The sound of birds stops the noise in my mind.
Carly Simon
You're so vain. I bet you think this song is about you.
Carly Simon
You don't have to prove to me you're beautiful to strangers, I've got loving eyes of my own.
Carly Simon
You usually can't tell what's inspiring until you look back on it.
Carly Simon
