I try to have two or three days between performances.

In Europe they like my Marguerite.

It is not easy to sing the way Karajan wants.

I like Strehler, even though sometimes he is very hard, and he never wants to stop - but he is fantastic!

I am generous in many ways, but not when I think it will destroy my voice.

Some singers think they are gods who can do everything. But I have always been honest with myself and my possibilities.
