I have three grandchildren and am hoping for 20.

I had a wonderful childhood, but I was a wanderer from year one.

It makes one a better person to have had hardships and to have overcome hardships and not to blame anybody else for your mistakes.

Perhaps, once I am gone, the one thing I might be remembered for is having sung a great deal of Mahler with a great many phenomenal conductors. It is wonderful music, very spiritual.

When I started to sing, my mother would have me engaged to perform at the Women's Christian Temperance Union national or annual meetings. I would hate doing this because I wanted to play baseball or go off skiing.

I have had five phenomenal children, a great husband and, even though we are separated, we are good friends.
