Carole King
Not only do you want to leave the audience wanting more, you want to leave yourself wanting more.
Carole King
You can't talk to a man, with a shotgun in his hand.
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
It's a very worthy cause. This should happen, and I do believe that tenacity counts. Not going away matters.
Carole King
You're beautiful as you feel.
Carole King
I'd like to know that your love Is love I can be sure of.
Carole King
