By the time I was 12 or 13, I felt that I was special, because I could play the guitar and write songs.

I don't think that Simon and Garfunkel as a live act compares to Simon and Garfunkel as a studio act.

Anthony Heilbut has been a guide and a mentor to me. I know of no one who has the love and depth of knowledge of this extraordinary author.

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

When I was 15, I made a solo record. It made Artie very unhappy. He looked upon it as something of a betrayal.

I think Bridge Over Troubled Water was a very good song. Artie sang it beautifully. The Boxer was a really nice record. But I don't think I've written any great songs.

I rate each album as better than the last one. That's how I see it.
