Garfunkel Quotes By Art Garfunkel

Garfunkel Quotes By Kate Micucci

Garfunkel Quotes By Paul Simon

Most of the time, when I had hits as a soloist - maybe not so much with Simon & Garfunkel - I was surprised they were hits. I didn't know what the hits were. I never thought that 'Loves Me Like A Rock' was going to be a hit, or 'Mother And Child Reunion,' or '50 Ways To Leave Your Lover.' They didn't sound like what the hits sounded like at the time. Radio was more open to things that weren't exactly what every other hit was. — Paul Simon

I actually prefer female voices to listen to, mostly, but among the male singers whose voices I like are Jeff Buckley, Art Garfunkel, that sort of voice. Contemporary crooners rather than rockers. — Gregory Maguire

Garfunkel Quotes By Art Garfunkel

It seems to me that at 19 or 20, a young man is burning to be great at something. I was. You have a vision that's beyond the neighborhood. You want to make a mark while you're alive. You don't know exactly your future, but you want to be great at it. And greatness is an important word. And you dare not tell anybody how extreme and how burning are your visions, because you don't want anybody to mess with them — Art Garfunkel

Garfunkel Quotes By Art Garfunkel

By my 40s, I finally got out of my own way, so I could become a life creator; a life giver. — Art Garfunkel

Garfunkel Quotes By Art Garfunkel

Garfunkel Quotes By Art Garfunkel

You jump right over anything in the past, and you don't analyze problems. — Art Garfunkel

Garfunkel Quotes By Don McLean

My expectations for myself were never high. I had a very unusual way of writing songs and of thinking about music. I wasn't at all like Bob Dylan or Simon and Garfunkel. I was completely different - I didn't have a David Geffen at my side. — Don McLean

Garfunkel Quotes By Jake Epstein

My dad is a huge folk music fan, so growing up, there were always records playing in my house. Carole King, James Taylor, Simon and Garfunkel, the Beatles - I grew up with this music, and I was aware of how special this music was to a lot of people. — Jake Epstein

If John Lennon is deported, I'm leaving too ... with my musicians..and my marijuana. — Art Garfunkel

Garfunkel Quotes By Art Garfunkel

I would start seeing, in just the sense I was saying now, the kind of record it was going to be and what the arrangement demands, and what my vocal part should be in the record. This was all emerging as the song was emerging. — Art Garfunkel

Garfunkel Quotes By Art Garfunkel

Paul's the writer. Yeah, I wrote a little of that stuff, but that's just technically true. In spirit, and in essence of the truth, it doesn't matter. So I don't know, maybe I'm being foolish for not being technical. Yeah, I wrote a certain portion of the things. — Art Garfunkel

Garfunkel Quotes By Art Garfunkel

I have the feeling that in a balanced life one should die penniless. The trick is dismantling. — Art Garfunkel

A kitchen without an ironing board? Are you kidding? It's un-American. It's like Simon without Garfunkel. — Erma Bombeck

Garfunkel Quotes By Art Garfunkel

Garfunkel Quotes By Oscar Isaac

I've listened to Dylan my entire life. My dad was a huge Bob Dylan fan, so we listened to his music, Cat Stevens, Simon & Garfunkel, and all that kind of stuff. It opened up a whole world of this music that I'm now obsessed with. — Oscar Isaac

Garfunkel Quotes By Jake Bugg

Yes, I like that word. "More" is a prayer to God, isn't it? Gratitude and plea, all in one. — Art Garfunkel

Garfunkel Quotes By Eric Whitacre

I'm not a culture snob. So while, of course, I think the Mozart 'Requiem' or, say, Beethoven's 'Ninth' are some of the greatest works of art in the history of humankind, that's not to say the Beatles or Queen or Simon and Garfunkel aren't brilliant, beautiful, important works of art that should be sung without a sense of irony. — Eric Whitacre

Garfunkel Quotes By Art Garfunkel

I'm the kind of person who can hear that stuff. If you sing along to the radio and you're not going to sing unison with the melody, but find the harmony, I find that pretty easy to do. — Art Garfunkel

Garfunkel Quotes By Art Garfunkel

I was a student at Columbia College, actually, in the Architecture school. Paul would drive in from Queens, showing me these new songs. I can't remember us working it out. — Art Garfunkel

Garfunkel Quotes By Simon & Garfunkel

El Condor Pasa"

I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail
Yes I would
If I could, I surely would
I'd rather be a hammer than a nail.
Yes I would
If I only could, I surely would.

Away, I'd rather sail away
Like a swan that's here and gone
A man gets tied up to the ground
He gives the world
Its saddest sound, its saddest sound

I'd rather be a forest than a street.
Yes I would
If I could, I surely would.
I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet
Yes I would
If I only could, I surely would — Simon & Garfunkel

Garfunkel Quotes By Kemp Muhl

My guilty pleasure is Simon & Garfunkel. I'm embarrassed about it. They're dorky. — Kemp Muhl

Garfunkel Quotes By Charles Kennedy

I couldn't imagine a day without music. It relaxes and stimulates me in equal measure and I hate the sound of silence - the concept, I mean, not the track by Simon and Garfunkel. — Charles Kennedy

Garfunkel Quotes By Mary Russel

Simon and Garfunkel were prophetic. The Sound of Silence certainly applies today with so many people communicating through electronic devices. It isn't uncommon to see kids standing side by side talking without speaking. We bow and pray to the back-lit gods we made. — Mary Russel

Garfunkel Quotes By Jennifer Egan

Garfunkel Quotes By Art Garfunkel

Rodgers and Hammerstein didn't mean anything to me. I just wanted to have a hit, I just wanted to be like those people on the radio. It was all of a case of the present tense with no projecting into the future, particularly. — Art Garfunkel
