More quotes by Carly Simon
As a singer I tried on all these hats, these voices, these clothes, and eventually out came me.
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
The models for me were more the folk-rock singers of the '60s and '70s.
Carly Simon
Don't mind if I fall apart. There's more room in a broken heart.
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
You're so vain. I bet you think this song is about you.
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

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
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 took it to heart that in order to be a good person you never said anything mean about anybody.
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
I had a mastectomy in 1998, and then chemo.
Carly Simon
Life is a dream even in its most painful moments, it's a dream that we can dance to.
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 haven't got time for the pain.
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
Worrying too much about other people's ears and not my own, I lost my way.
Carly Simon
I think that I've got some pretty bad reviews on albums or songs that later proved themselves.
Carly Simon
Everyone has problems, and learning to share them is essential. Hiding pain requires an enormous amount of energy sharing it is liberating.
