Carly Simon

Carly Simon
The sound of birds stops the noise in my mind.
Carly Simon

Carly Simon
I had some dreams, they were clouds in my coffee.
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
So many artists who came out during that time, including myself, were able to get on radio. New forms of singer-songwriters developed out of that.
Carly Simon
