A rhyme doesn't make a song.

Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, start all over again.

There aren't more lady songwriters for the same reason that there aren't more lady doctors or lady accountants or lady lawyers; not enough women have the time for careers.

A songwriter should have friends who are similarly interested; should move about in the milieu of work he has chosen for himself.

No matter where I run, I meet myself there.

I do not think men have more talent. There are a great many women in the arts; novelists, painters, sculptors, poets-but the proportion is far lower in the field of song writing.

The man in our society is the breadwinner; the woman has enough to do as the homemaker, wife and mother.
