Carole King

“I listen to both oldies and contemporary stations. I enjoy listening to current stuff because there's an energy to it that's inspiring.”

“I didn't want to be an artist.”

“I used to hate the sound of my voice.”

“My one area of vulnerability was I didn't know how to have a healthy relationship with a man.”

“Everybody understands friendship, and friendship is different than love - it's a different kind of love. Friendship has more freedom, more latitude. You don't expect your friend to be as you think your friend should be; you expect your friend just to love you as a friend.”

“There is a downside to having one of the biggest-selling albums ever.”

“I just sort of try to be a good person; try to write music that lifts people and makes me feel good to sing.”

“When I was younger, I was kind of fearless. I think it takes more courage to do things when you know more. I was completely naive, and I was like, 'Why can't I do anything I want to do?'”

“להציע את המילים והרעיונות שכתבתי לקהל כאילו היה זה חבר קולקטיבי שאני מכירה זמן רב.”

“כל אשר הייתי צריכה הוא לשיר מתוך שכנוע עצמי, לבטא את האמת שבלב בצורה כנה וישירה.”

“אני מנסה להיות אדם טוב, לכתוב מוזיקה שתרומם את רוחם של אנשים.”

“לא רק את הקהל את רוצה להשאיר עם טעם של עוד אלא גם את עצמך.”

“אתה לא לבד. לכולנו יש ספקות ופחדים.”

“עשה את הדברים שאתה מאמין בהם.”

“עליך לקום כל בוקר עם חיוך ולהראות לעולם את האהבה שבלבך.”

“היום אור האהבה בעיניך, אבל האם תאהב אותי מחר?”

“האם זה לא טוב לדעת? יש לך חבר.”

“Sometimes I get a lyric, and the lyric, you know, comes off the page, and goes into my brain and comes out with a melody. Other times, I may create a melody first.”

“The downside of videos is that it will put my vision in front of other people, so they might not get the chance to create their own.”

“My life has been a tapestry of rich and royal hue, an everlasting vision of the ever changing view.”
