We work our jobs, collect our pay, believe were gliding down the highway, when in fact we’re slip sliding away.
I met my old lover on the street last night. She seemed so glad to see me, I just smiled. Then we talked about some old times and we drank ourselves some beers, still crazy after all these years.
The phrasing didn’t work as well.
It was easier than explaining DiMaggio’s use as a metaphor.
The degree of customization possible through your Preferences screens is awesome.
Maybe I think too much for my own good.
Elvis was the reason I picked up the guitar.
I lived in an attached house. My father used to drive into the wrong driveway all the time. He’d say, Damn it, how do you tell one of these houses from another?
I try to open up my heart as much as I can and keep a real keen eye out that I don’t get sentimental. I think we’re all afraid to reveal our hearts. It’s not at all in fashion.
We got on American Bandstand, where kids would dance to a record and then rate it. We called ourselves Tom and Jerry. I was Jerry.
We were always able to sing and blend well together; that’s our gift. But aside from that, we’re really two different guys.
When I began making my own albums, the songs became funkier. They were more about the streets.
When I was 15, I made a solo record. It made Artie very unhappy. He looked upon it as something of a betrayal.
I don’t very often think I’ve done a good job. I don’t like the majority of what I do. I shouldn’t say I don’t like it, but I’m not satisfied with almost everything that I do.
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.
Artie travels all the time. The rehearsals were just miserable. Artie and I fought all the time. He didn’t want to do the show with my band; he just wanted me on acoustic guitar.
Being an artist doesn’t mean that you’re a good artist. That was the bargain I first made with myself: I’d say, I’m an artist, but I’m not really very good.
I think Bridge Over Troubled Water was a very good song. Artie sang it beautifully. The Boxer was a really nice record. But I don’t think I’ve written any great songs.
My voice is my improvisational instrument, the melody instrument. The guitar is harmonic structure. I’m not a good enough guitarist to improvise on it.
Hide it in a hiding place where no one ever goes Put it in your pantry with your cupcakes.
