There is no greater thrill than to sing with a beautiful orchestra.

I have always wished I could learn to be a potter. I love collecting ceramics; it would be so fulfilling to create something lovely.

After all, children are children no matter their background.

Well it's all right to cry. It helps a great deal sometimes.

A lot of my life happened in great, wonderful bursts of good fortune, and then I would race to be worthy of it.

All careers go up and down like friendships, like marriages, like anything else, and you can't bat a thousand all the time.

I love singing, and I came to absolutely adore it in the later part of my career.
