You Don't Need Any Brains To Listen

If You Know Why You Fall In Love, You Aren't In Love

In Opera, As With Any Performing Art, To Be In Great Demand And To Command High Fees You Must Be Good Of Course, But You Must Also Be Famous. The Two Are Different Things.

I'm A Perfectionist, And I Always Think That I Can Do Better What I Have Done, Even If It's Good.

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.

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