Carly Simon

The advancements that women have made are very threatening to men in the job place. There haven't been that many women in politics. If you look at the conventions, it's kind of pathetic how many men are the heads of companies. On the other hand, I'm not sure what the reality should be.
Carly Simon
Image
It didn't matter as much because I'm a singer, not an actress, but my face is more acceptable in a way now than when I first came on the scene, because I'm part black.
Carly Simon
Image
I had this terrible stammer, so I couldn't really speak properly until I was 16 or 17.
Carly Simon
Image
You know when you take the paint off an old canvas and you discover that something's been painted underneath it? That's what I feel like - that part of the old is coming through the new.

I used the physical scar of my breast cancer operation, the scar that I have across my chest as a metaphor for all kinds of scars.
