The public made me and then encouraged me for many years, and my future even now depends upon it.
I'm not superstitious because it brings bad luck.
To stay at my best, I have to stop talking during the preceding day.
Young singers are much better educated musically, much better informed, through discs and videos, than I was.
I feel at home in an orchestral score.
I feel like a little boy who is constantly offered new toys.
