Carole King

I didn't want to be an artist.

I went to London and performed in Eric Clapton's concert at the Royal Albert Hall. I'll work with him any time he asks me.

In my career I have never felt that my being a woman was an obstacle or an advantage. I guess I've been oblivious.

When you're a songwriter and you click with someone, you tend to want to keep writing with that person.

Often you get wonderful singers who maybe aren't as strong as actors, or you get wonderful actors who can't sing very well.

I didn't want to be famous. I just wanted to earn enough money to have a nice life and enjoy acting.
