I'd Like To See One Person -

I Always Thought My Days Spent In Darkness [as A Child She Had Cataracts And Was Unable To See For Nearly Four Years] Gave Me A Very Special Sensitivity. Much Later, When I Really Wanted To Hear, Really 'see' A Song, I'd Close My Eyes, And When I Wanted To Bring It Out Of The Very Depths Of Myself, Out Of My Guts, Out Of My Belly, When The Song Had To Come From Far Away, I'd Close My Eyes.

I'm Sure That I've Already Been Dead.

My Conservatory Is In The Streets. My Intelligence Is Instinct.

I've Always Wanted To Sing, Just As I've Always Known That One Day I Would Have My Own Niche In The Annals Of Song. It Was A Feeling I Had.

Use Your Faults, Use Your Defects; Then You're Going To Be A Star.
