More quotes by Carly Simon
I think that I've got some pretty bad reviews on albums or songs that later proved themselves.
Carly Simon
But I'm lost when it comes to you.
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
The sound of birds stops the noise in my mind.
Carly Simon
One of the things that has always motivated me to write is the desire to get it out and look at it in an objective way, so that it doesn't cause me any serious pain by staying inside.
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
So I suppose this slightly mature fashion sense happened because of what I had.
Carly Simon
I took it to heart that in order to be a good person you never said anything mean about anybody.
Carly Simon
Then I went through a big Peggy Lee stage, then I became Annie Ross, then Judy Collins.
Carly Simon
I've learned that nobody's perfect, and I don't expect myself to be perfect anymore.
Carly Simon
Worrying too much about other people's ears and not my own, I lost my way.
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
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
My scar is beautiful. It looks like an arrow.
Carly Simon
As a singer I tried on all these hats, these voices, these clothes, and eventually out came me.
Carly Simon
You usually can't tell what's inspiring until you look back on it.
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
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
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
