If I could live my life over again, there is one thing I would change. I would want to be able to eat less.
You don't need any brains to listen to music.
I want to reach as many people as possible with the message of music, of wonderful opera.
Children should be given the chance to play instruments, to sing.
The music itself could never take the place of my own passion in life.
If your body is not in shape to sing [from the diaphragm] you will push and push but keep falling back on your throat to make the sound. This will ruin your voice.
