More quotes by Carly Simon
But I'm lost when it comes to you.
Carly Simon
Everyone has problems, and learning to share them is essential. Hiding pain requires an enormous amount of energy sharing it is liberating.
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
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
As a singer I tried on all these hats, these voices, these clothes, and eventually out came me.
Carly Simon
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
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
I try to get to those peculiar and particular things that you never think of to say.
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
I've learned that nobody's perfect, and I don't expect myself to be perfect anymore.
Carly Simon
So many artists who came out during that time, including myself, were able to get on radio. New forms of singer-songwriters developed out of that.
Carly Simon
The sound of birds stops the noise in my mind.
Carly Simon
We need role models who are going to break the mold.
Carly Simon
You usually can't tell what's inspiring until you look back on it.
Carly Simon
You're so vain. I bet you think this song is about you.
Carly Simon
Life is a dream even in its most painful moments, it's a dream that we can dance to.
Carly Simon
A really strong woman accepts the war she went through and is ennobled by her scars.
Carly Simon
You say we'll soar like two birds through the clouds, but soon you'll cage me on your shelf. I'll never learn to be just me, first by myself.
Carly Simon
My look was even more solidified when I started singing in Greenwich Village with my sister Lucy. We wore matching dresses as the Simon Sisters.
Carly Simon
The models for me were more the folk-rock singers of the '60s and '70s.
