Renee Fleming Quotes

I’m not a reactionary Picture Quote #1

Some of my first teachers were incredibly tough. You could never sing more than three words without being stopped and having to do it over 20 times. I loved that - that sort of process of dissecting and trying to figure out and master this incredibly mysterious instrument Picture Quote #1

It is always fragile, being a parent Picture Quote #1

I think touring is hard Picture Quote #1

Opera is really fun Picture Quote #1

I have had a very difficult time with stage fright; it undermines your well-being and peace of mind, and it can also threaten your livelihood Picture Quote #1

I’ve spent hours and hours doing research into Appalachian folk music. My grandfather was a fiddler. There is something very immediate, very simple and emotional, about that music Picture Quote #1

When a human being without amplification makes a sound that is high and loud, it is almost unworldly Picture Quote #1

At this stage in my career, I don’t have to take any big risks. You want to take a calculated risk, not one that leads to people saying ‘yes, but there was that one time when she made that big mistake.’ It’s always a shame when that happens, especially if you’ve gotten by for decades without anything hugely tragic Picture Quote #1

I was constantly being pushed toward a European ideal of what it means to be a classical or opera singer, let’s say in the Renata Tebaldi mode. I reject that Picture Quote #1

Music was language in our house. It was air.....I feel certain that if I absorbed any lessons at all in the first months and years of my life, they must have been about the work that went into making a beautiful sound Picture Quote #1

Being steeped in the process of learning and exploring keeps me from becoming too nervous. Partly it’s about not getting bored Picture Quote #1

I have a noble history of being rejected by a lot of places, only to discover that the one that finally lets me in is in fact the perfect fit Picture Quote #1

The reason that some singers go on to become great artists has very little to do with their voices, but rather with the fact that they have used their instruments as tools for detailed communication Picture Quote #1

I learned so many roles so quickly as a young singer, I thought it was time to come back to them and make them better - deeper, more nuanced Picture Quote #1

When I sing, the sound is a totally different range, color, all of it. It’s all about the breath. You take in a breath and you make a sound Picture Quote #1

I have not changed with the accomplishments. I’ve remained the same. If I had changed, great. You know, but I haven’t Picture Quote #1

I have had a very difficult time with stage fright; it undermines your well-being and peace of mind, and it can also threaten your livelihood Picture Quote #1

I’m reserved, so I’ve always needed to find a way of opening up. Jazz helped me do that Picture Quote #1

Having to travel so much plays havoc with your personal life Picture Quote #1
