I will always be as difficult as necessary to achieve the best.

When my enemies stop hissing, I shall know I'm slipping.

First I lost weight, then I lost my voice, and now I've lost Onassis.

On stage, I am in the dark.

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.

I was always too mature for my age - and not very happy. I had no young friends. I wish I could go back to those days. If I could only live it all again, how I would play and enjoy other girls. What a fool I was.

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