If I Go Three Days Without Vocalizing,

I Think A Life In Music Is A Life Beautifully Spent, And This Is What I Have Devoted My Life To.

It Is Not Always A Matter Of Wild Ovations And Legendary Performances. Sometimes You Are Just Happy To Get Through An Opera Without Trouble.

I Am A Very Simple Person. In Spite Of All That Has Happened To Me, I Have Tried To Remain The Simple Person I Started Out.

I Think An Important Quality That I Have Is That If You Turn On The Radio And Hear Somebody Sing, You Know It's Me. You Don't Confuse My Voice With Another Voice.

One Of The Very Nicest Things About Life Is The Way We Must Regularly Stop Whatever It Is We Are Doing And Devote Our Attention To Eating.
