More quotes by Carly Simon
As a singer I tried on all these hats, these voices, these clothes, and eventually out came me.
Carly Simon
There was a French singer, Francoise Hardy - I used to look at her pictures and try to dress like her.
Carly Simon
But I'm lost when it comes to you.
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
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
I try to get to those peculiar and particular things that you never think of to say.
Carly Simon
I had some dreams, they were clouds in my coffee.
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
Life is a dream even in its most painful moments, it's a dream that we can dance to.
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
The sound of birds stops the noise in my mind.
Carly Simon
I've gone through the village of my songwriting and my artistry, and I've gone through lots of different phases, including one where it has been very quiet and abandoned me for a few years.
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
The models for me were more the folk-rock singers of the '60s and '70s.
Carly Simon
I've learned that nobody's perfect, and I don't expect myself to be perfect anymore.
Carly Simon
You're so vain. I bet you think this song is about you.
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
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.
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 took it to heart that in order to be a good person you never said anything mean about anybody.
Carly Simon
