Some say I have a beautiful voice, some say I have not. It is a matter of opinion. All I can say, those who don't like it shouldn't come to hear me.

Only my dogs will not betray me.

I am not an angel and do not pretend to be. That is not one of my roles. But I am not a devil, either. I am a woman and a serious artist, and I would like so to be judged.

Don't talk to me about rules, dear. Wherever I stay I make the goddam rules.

I will not be sued! I have the voice of an angel!

I want to be a mature artist with a different kind of thinking.

I cannot switch my voice. My voice is not like an elevator going up and down.
