Paul Simon

"As long as you have capital punishment there is no guarantee that innocent people won't be put to death."

"Faith is an island in the setting sun, But proof is the bottom line for everyone."

"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."

"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."

"I don't consider myself to be a major talent, so the only solace I can take is to hope I'm growing."

"If you can get humor and seriousness at the same time, you've created a special little thing, and that's what I'm looking for, because if you get pompous, you lose everything."
