More quotes by Carly Simon
I'm still more comfortable with standards than with my own songs.
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
As a singer I tried on all these hats, these voices, these clothes, and eventually out came me.
Carly Simon

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
But I'm lost when it comes to you.
Carly Simon
Don't mind if I fall apart. There's more room in a broken heart.

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
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
You know, when I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1997 I realized I had spent too long arranging my attitude.
Carly Simon
I had a mastectomy in 1998, and then chemo.
Carly Simon
We need role models who are going to break the mold.
Carly Simon
I had this terrible stammer, so I couldn't really speak properly until I was 16 or 17.
Carly Simon
Then I went through a big Peggy Lee stage, then I became Annie Ross, then Judy Collins.
Carly Simon
There was a French singer, Francoise Hardy - I used to look at her pictures and try to dress like her.
