Quotes
ADD QUOTES-
Carole King: (on her 2010 Troubadour Reunion tour with James Taylor) I was a little concerned about my vocal stamina, but that seems to be there. But it's a very high-energy show. I'm doing the Carole King earth-move workout out there.
-
Carole King: (on writing "You've Got a Friend") That song was as close to pure inspiration I’ve ever experienced. The song wrote itself. It was written by something outside of myself through me.
-
Carole King: (of her life in Idaho in 2009) When I wake up every morning, I smile and say, 'Thank you.' Because out of my window I can see the mountains, then go hiking with my dog and share her bounding joy in the world.
