More quotes by Carly Simon
I try to get to those peculiar and particular things that you never think of to say.
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
I haven't got time for the pain.
Carly Simon
I'm still more comfortable with standards than with my own songs.
Carly Simon
We need role models who are going to break the mold.

The models for me were more the folk-rock singers of the '60s and '70s.
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

Carly Simon
I think that I've got some pretty bad reviews on albums or songs that later proved themselves.
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
You're so vain. I bet you think this song is about you.
Carly Simon
Don't mind if I fall apart. There's more room in a broken heart.
Carly Simon
My scar is beautiful. It looks like an arrow.
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
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
But I'm lost when it comes to you.
Carly Simon
You usually can't tell what's inspiring until you look back on it.
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
