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

When I did not become enemies, then I understand that there was nothing standing.

There must be a law against forcing children to perform at an early age. Children should have a wonderful childhood. They should not be given too much responsibility.

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

My poor sight gives me an advantage. I can't see the people in the audience who are scratching their heads while I am lost in my role and giving everything I have to the drama.

[During fee negotiations for singing in Vienna:] I'm not interested in money, but it must be more than anyone else gets.

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.
