Carly Simon

Carly Simon

Carly Simon
I've learned that nobody's perfect, and I don't expect myself to be perfect anymore.
Carly Simon
I had a mastectomy in 1998, and then chemo.
Carly Simon
I had this terrible stammer, so I couldn't really speak properly until I was 16 or 17.
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
A really strong woman accepts the war she went through and is ennobled by her scars.
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
