More quotes by Carly Simon
I had some dreams, they were clouds in my coffee.
Carly Simon
I try to get to those peculiar and particular things that you never think of to say.
Carly Simon
The models for me were more the folk-rock singers of the '60s and '70s.
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
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 had this terrible stammer, so I couldn't really speak properly until I was 16 or 17.
Carly Simon
Don't mind if I fall apart. There's more room in a broken heart.
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
A really strong woman accepts the war she went through and is ennobled by her scars.
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'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 sound of birds stops the noise in my mind.
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
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
But I'm lost when it comes to you.
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
You don't have to prove to me you're beautiful to strangers, I've got loving eyes of my own.
Carly Simon
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.
Carly Simon
We need role models who are going to break the mold.
Carly Simon
