• “So it's mix and match. Hold your line when you really feel something you're saying is wonderful and you really want to get this point across and prove it to your partner by just throwing it into the tape and letting it speak for itself.” (Art Garfunkel) [point/partner/speak]
• “I used to chart the records. I used to listen Hit Parade. I was in love with the Hit Parade for its own sake. I loved the rise and fall of the records with their numbers. Records that went from 11 to four. It killed me because of the numbers. And I had my graph chart of all these things. And I was very mathematical.” (Art Garfunkel) [love]
• “Paul is a very creative artist but I'm more that thorough, meticulous, disciplined nut.” (Art Garfunkel) [artist/more]

• I would start seeing, in just the sense I was saying now, the kind of record it was going to be and what the arrangement demands, and what my vocal part should be in the record. This was all emerging as the song was emerging. (Art Garfunkel)
• I'm the kind of person who can hear that stuff. If you sing along to the radio and you're not going to sing unison with the melody, but find the harmony, I find that pretty easy to do. (Art Garfunkel)
• Paul has more, I think, of a feel for the stage. Whereas I have it more for the notes themselves. I love record making and mixing, arranging, producing. That I love. I love to make beautiful things, but I don't like to perform. (Art Garfunkel)
• Paul is a very creative artist but I'm more that thorough, meticulous, disciplined nut. (Art Garfunkel)
• Paul's the writer. Yeah, I wrote a little of that stuff, but that's just technically true. In spirit, and in essence of the truth, it doesn't matter. So I don't know, maybe I'm being foolish for not being technical. Yeah, I wrote a certain portion of the things. (Art Garfunkel)
• Records became much cruder in the last 20 years. Let's put it that way. (Art Garfunkel)
• Records have images. There are wet records and dry records. And big records. (Art Garfunkel)
• Rodgers and Hammerstein didn't mean anything to me. I just wanted to have a hit, I just wanted to be like those people on the radio. It was all of a case of the present tense with no projecting into the future, particularly. (Art Garfunkel)
• So it's mix and match. Hold your line when you really feel something you're saying is wonderful and you really want to get this point across and prove it to your partner by just throwing it into the tape and letting it speak for itself. (Art Garfunkel)

• We'd go to the fraternity house. It was a good place to practice. But we really wanted the kids to overhear us. And whoever heard us would go nuts over it. (Art Garfunkel)
