Wherever you turn, there is always something wrong with the politicians. They have everything they need to save the world, and they don't save it.

The idea of the European community is never face a war again.

One of the most wonderful memories in my life was when I sang at the Opera House in Sydney. I will never forget that. It is one of the most beautiful Houses I have ever sung in my life.

I left the table where there were important people and had lunch with my husband and a few friends. The reception was organised in my honour, so it was rather amusing.

How you looked was not important. It was what you did and how you did it. Decide to do it and then do it the best way you can.

When I was singing, everybody liked me.

My energy to sing, I get it from my singing. Singing was not a reason to make a living. This is the only thing I wanted to do.
