The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Paul Simon
- There’s something about the sound of a train that’s very romantic and nostalgic and hopeful.
- All lies and jests, still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest.
- Having a track record to live up to and the history of successes had become a hindrance. It becomes harder to break out of what people expect you to do.
- It’s pointless to be critical of your stuff once it’s done. I don’t spend a lot of time agonising over it. It’s of no importance once it’s finished.
- Not every song I write is ecstasy. And it can happen only one time. After that, when you sing the same melody and words, it’s pleasure, but you don’t get wiped out.
- One of the things that upset me was some of the criticism leveled at Simon and Garfunkel. I always took exception to it, but actually I agree with a lot of it.
- I question what emotion Manilow touches. People are entertained by him. But are they emotionally moved? I don’t believe anything that Barry Manilow sings.
- I suppose an artist takes the elements of his life and rearranges them and then has them perceived by others as though they were the elements of their lives.
- When we came into the studio I became more and more me, making the tracks and choosing the musicians, partly because a great deal of the time during Bridge, Artie wasn’t there.
- I don’t feel any pressure from fans. But I’m always in some kind of state of emotional turmoil. I would not describe myself as happy-go-lucky. That’s not to say that I’m not happy.
