Paris Dictates Fashion To The Whole World.

If I Have Stepped On Some People At Times Because I Am At The Top, It Couldn't Be Helped. What Should I Do If Someone Gets Hurt... Retire?

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

I Belong To The Givers. I Want To Give A Little Happiness Even If I Haven’t Had Much For Myself. Music Has Enriched My Life And, Hopefully - Through Me, A Little - The Public’s. If Anyone Left An Opera House Feeling More Happy And At Peace, I Achieved My Purpose.

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.

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