...everything Looks Worse In Black And White.

When I First Heard Elvis Perform "bridge Over Trouble Water" It Was Unbelivable,and I Thought To Myself, How The Hell Can I Compete With That?

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 Feel Any Pressure From Fans. But I'm Always In Some Kind Of State Of Emotional Turmoil. I Would Not Describe Myself As Happy-go-lucky. That's Not To Say That I'm Not Happy.

It's Pointless To Be Critical Of Your Stuff Once It's Done. I Don't Spend A Lot Of Time Agonising Over It. It's Of No Importance Once It's Finished.

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.
