Paul Simon

I would be willing to do almost anything to make Art happy. I care about our friendship. The only thing I won't do is change the essence of my work. ↗

I'm more interested in what I discover than what I invent. ↗

I'm not in it for the money. I like music. I love to write music. I can't imagine myself not playing or singing or writing. It would just drive me crazy if I didn't. ↗

Improvisation is too good to leave to chance. ↗

It's a big error to think that because you like somebody's work, you're going to like him. ↗

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. ↗

Mrs. Robinson is a little dated now, but it has nothing to do with Joe DiMaggio. ↗

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. ↗

My whole artistic life has always been about change, change, change, move on, move on. It's the only thing I find interesting. ↗

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. ↗
