I don't know what happens to me on stage. Something else seems to take over.

When music fails to agree to the ear, to soothe the ear and the heart and the senses, then it has missed the point.

I would like to be Maria, but there is La Callas who demands that I carry myself with her dignity.

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

Only my dogs will not betray me.
