Why let one high C ruin your whole evening?

My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, for man's anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires.

I can't be happy every day but I can be cheerful.

It seemed no longer important whether everyone loved me or not, more important now was for me to love them

Opera is an extremely disciplined art form, and every excess a singer indulges in has a direct effect on the voice.

I've always tried to be cheerful, because I think people who whine are boring, and I never could tolerate bores.

Don't get me started on critics.
