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

My strength is my enthusiasm.

We all have a destiny in accordance with the breadth of our shoulders. My shoulders are broad.

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

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

Between parts I was too old for and roles that were too overwhelming, out of reach then for my voice. I carved out a niche with the Wagnerian repertoire since I am attracted by its theatrical intensity.

The public is a part of my real life.
