Paul Frederic Simon é um cantor-compositor e guitarrista americano, conhecido por seu trabalho solo e suas colaborações com Art Garfunkel. Ele e Garfunkel, que se conheceram na escola primária em 1953, tornaram-se proeminentes na década de 1960 como Simon & Garfunkel. Sua mistura de folk e rock, incluindo sucessos como "The Sound of Silence" (1965), "Mrs. Robinson" (1968), "America" (1968) e "The Boxer" (1969), serviu como trilha sonora da contracultura dos anos 1960. Seu último álbum, Bridge over Troubled Water (1970), está entre os mais vendidos de todos os tempos.
“There was always some kind of strain, but it was workable. The bigger you get, the more of a strain it is, because in your everyday life, you're less used to compromising. As you get bigger, you have your own way. But in a partnership you always have to compromise. … When you get into a partnership, you're not the boss. There's no boss. That makes it hard.”
“I have gone through different phases in my music writing. There was a time when I used a little exercise — incorporating all of the twelve notes in the chromatic scale — to get me going. I used this technique for a while, but I don't any longer because I am going back to simpler melodies. Originally I moved away from the simple songs because I thought they were too simple.”
“Preserve your memories, they're all that's left you.”
“Snowman sittin' in the sun doesn't have time to waste.”
“"The universe loves a drama," you know. And ladies and gentlemen this is the show.”
“I am walking up the face of the mountain. Counting every step I climb. Remembering the names of the constellations. Forgotten is a long, long time.”
