More quotes by Carole King
Do the things you believe in, in the name of love. And know that, you aren't alone. We all have doubts and fears.
Carole King
I'm a songwriter first...In my career I have never felt that my being a woman was an obstacle or an advantage. I guess I've been oblivious...Sensitive, humbug. Everybody thinks I'm sensitive...There is a downside to having one of the biggest-selling albums ever.
Carole King
Sometimes I get a lyric, and the lyric, you know, comes off the page, and goes into my brain and comes out with a melody. Other times, I may create a melody first.
Carole King

Carole King
When I was younger, I was kind of fearless. I think it takes more courage to do things when you know more. I was completely naive, and I was like, why can't I do anything I want to do? You know, go for it.
Carole King
I went to London and performed in Eric Clapton's concert at the Royal Albert Hall. I'll work with him any time he asks me.

Today's records, even though they may be lyrically repetitive and not saying anything particularly heavy, they have energy.

I still believe that everyone is beautiful in some way and by seeing the beauty in others we make ourselves more beautiful.
Carole King
