Carly Simon quotes about
There was a French singer, Francoise Hardy - I used to look at her pictures and try to dress like her.
We are in this period now where we all are trying to be in shape physically and deny ourselves any pleasure.
I grew up not understanding what was true and what was not true. It gave me a sense of unreality. I was told that this man [mom's lover] was not my mother's lover - when he was. I was told he was there as a male babysitter for my brother so that he would learn sports and other manly things.
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.
But when we listened to the radio, it was Bill Haley and the Comets or the Everly Brothers.
Well, I tried to get a record deal in 1966 or '67, and everyone thought I was too eclectic.
