What is sad is not to be able to do today what you have done in your youth. But what is good is to remember that - when you were able - you did it to the best of your ability.

It is strange, but nobody is shocked when pop singers make a fortune in the space of two years.

The voice collects and translates your bad physical health, your emotional worries, your personal troubles.

On the other hand, I have devoted so much energy to reach the top that I accept the stress of being there.

But enough joking. I am singing. This is all my life.

To stay at my best, I have to stop talking during the preceding day.

The public made me and then encouraged me for many years, and my future even now depends upon it.
