“The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls and tenement...” — Paul Simon Quote

“The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls and tenements halls and whispered in the sounds of silence.”

“We got on American Bandstand, where kids would dance to a record and then rate it. We called ourselves Tom and Jerry. I was Jerry.”

“My voice is my improvisational instrument, the melody instrument. The guitar is harmonic structure. I'm not a good enough guitarist to improvise on it.”

“Social media provides the modern-day version of mystery shopping and walking the halls.”

“It was easier to forget, or be dismissive about, transgender issues when there weren't transgender staffers or interns walking the halls of the White House.”

“With American orchestras, in particular, because they play in such huge halls, getting a true pianissimo is very hard.”
