Carly Simon
It didn't matter as much because I'm a singer, not an actress, but my face is more acceptable in a way now than when I first came on the scene, because I'm part black.
Carly Simon
As a singer I tried on all these hats, these voices, these clothes, and eventually out came me.
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
I had some dreams, they were clouds in my coffee.
Carly Simon
My scar is beautiful. It looks like an arrow.
Carly Simon
I haven't got time for the pain.
Carly Simon
