More quotes by Carly Simon
The sound of birds stops the noise in my mind.
Carly Simon
My scar is beautiful. It looks like an arrow.
Carly Simon
I think that I've got some pretty bad reviews on albums or songs that later proved themselves.
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
Then I went through a big Peggy Lee stage, then I became Annie Ross, then Judy Collins.
Carly Simon
But I'm lost when it comes to 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
I had a mastectomy in 1998, and then chemo.
Carly Simon
I had this terrible stammer, so I couldn't really speak properly until I was 16 or 17.
Carly Simon
The models for me were more the folk-rock singers of the '60s and '70s.
Carly Simon
I took it to heart that in order to be a good person you never said anything mean about anybody.
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
A really strong woman accepts the war she went through and is ennobled by her scars.
Carly Simon
You usually can't tell what's inspiring until you look back on it.
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
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 haven't got time for the pain.
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
