It's A Terrible Thing To Go Through

I Want To Be A Mature Artist With A Different Kind Of Thinking.

I Was Always Too Mature For My Age - And Not Very Happy. I Had No Young Friends. I Wish I Could Go Back To Those Days. If I Could Only Live It All Again, How I Would Play And Enjoy Other Girls. What A Fool I Was.

I Admire Tebaldi's Tone; It's Beautiful - Also Some Beautiful Phrasing. Sometimes, I Actually Wish I Had Her Voice.

Don't Come To Me With Your Troubles. I Have To Work For My Money And You Are Young Enough To Work Too. If You Can't Make Enough Money To Live On You Can Jump Out Of The Window Or Drown Yourself.

An Opera Begins Long Before The Curtain Goes Up And Ends Long After It Has Come Down. It Starts In My Imagination, It Becomes My Life, And It Stays Part Of My Life Long After I've Left The Opera House.
