It's a pity James Taylor has trashed her repeatedly publicly and privately and cut off contact. Perhaps for all his beautiful music and words, he is not quite as evolved emotionally as we would expect. Carly as always, in this interview shows us her grace, maturity, class, and soul.

Sometimes divorce can be just as much work as marriage. I've been divorced for 8 years and every single weekend for the last 8 years I have taken her out to eat at least two times a week, along with my younger son. I'm always over there helping her with her house, doing things in her yard, and take her places that she needs to go. My younger son lives with her and my older son lives with me. I also encourage my older son to see his mother. I actually get along with her better now than I ever did when we were married. You do whatever you can, especially when there are children involved. That way they know that you love them.

love that she didn't sugar coat the relationship, but still had class.  Very hard to do after a divorce.

What a deeply personal question that clearly made her feel uncomfortable. Why are we so obsessed with other people's love lives 😩

Carly and James were so much in love,Carly really loved him deeply, you can see that in early footage the way she looks at him. Alas things went wrong for James when he got into drink and drugs, the start of the slippery slope, but despite her love for him, she chose to protect herself and the children, and divorced  James. She then went on to be the superstar she is. A sincere ,lovely, kind caring, and dignified lady . Bless you Carly, you will always have a place in my heart.

She always seemed the more mature of the two.  James has said he was not mature enough to be married when he met Carly.  You can see in her face and hear in her voice it is a painful subject for her, yet her words are wise and practical.

Carly is both dignified and sincere, something many celebrities can not muster.  One realizes she is much more than a superstar; she is a human being.

I like the way she corrects his "at least right now" statement with "and for the foreseeable future."  I guess the interviewer really didn't want them to get a divorce.

James Taylor and Carly Simon were magic when they performed together.

Carly Simone always seemed to have a nice nature about her. The way she sings her songs made me feel relaxed. I will always wish her good health and peace in her life.

Her book is great. She said James had been seeing a foreign woman for a while and to truly end things, she went to this woman and said you can have him. She was so broken. She never ever wanted to sing her songs. Just write them.

living my life in public would be torture, Carly has a gentle soul and was very gracious in sharing her story

She is and always has been a classy lady.

She was too nice for him. James’s music is beautiful. Some of my favorite. But, I’m not sure how I feel about him as a human being.

I work for a well known package delivery co., the driver that used to deliver to her house told me how down to earth, and approachable she is.

She is so mature, calm, wise and...good. She could have said it in manner of  accusing him of destruction of their marriage, which is undeniable. She chose not to point fingers. WOW.

The interviewer wants to answer for her!  Ugh! She managed to get through those personal questions with grace and dignity.

Loving your kids more than you dislike your ex takes a lot of strength! She got it!

LOVE! Sometimes you just grow apart and you accept it! I’ve been with my wife for 40yrs! She was 15 and I was 18, it’s been one heck of a grow up ride together! I almost lost her once bc of me. But we where definitely meant to be together. She is still my blue eyed beauty that I met back then and I’ll always take care of her till my last breath!!

She was truly something special, back in the day. Her beauty and her voice takes me back to a more simple time.
