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
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
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
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
I've gone through the village of my songwriting and my artistry, and I've gone through lots of different phases, including one where it has been very quiet and abandoned me for a few years.
Carly Simon
I've learned that nobody's perfect, and I don't expect myself to be perfect anymore.
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
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
A really strong woman accepts the war she went through and is ennobled by her scars.
Carly Simon
Don't mind if I fall apart. There's more room in a broken heart.
Carly Simon
You're so vain. I bet you think this song is about you.
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
Everyone has problems, and learning to share them is essential. Hiding pain requires an enormous amount of energy sharing it is liberating.
Carly Simon
We need role models who are going to break the mold.
Carly Simon
There was a French singer, Francoise Hardy - I used to look at her pictures and try to dress like her.
Carly Simon
I had some dreams, they were clouds in my coffee.
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
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 this terrible stammer, so I couldn't really speak properly until I was 16 or 17.
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
