More quotes by Renee Fleming
I want to get out of the major opera houses.
Renee Fleming
In a way, being an opera singer is like being a very romantic sixteen-year-old who falls in love with great passion and conviction every month.
Renee Fleming
I think singing is one of the most natural things that human beings do, but it's difficult.
Renee Fleming
I'm American. I'm eclectic. I'm going to follow my musical passions. And if people don't like it, and it hurts my legacy, I'm not going to worry about that.

Renee Fleming
I was always a very good student.
Renee Fleming
The first thing I did when I made a little bit of money as a singer was to buy myself an amber necklace. This is often the way we put together our lives, adding the striking qualities of others into our own character.
Renee Fleming
I cannot imagine a more satisfying calling than my own: beauty, humanity, and history every day, combined with the cathartic joy of singing.
Renee Fleming
An interpretation exists because of what we find between the notes.
Renee Fleming
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.
Renee Fleming
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.
Renee Fleming
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.
Renee Fleming
I haven't really been able to transfer into that extraordinarily other worldly creature, other than I hope on stage.
Renee Fleming
I enjoy the more floaty, exposed, elegant singing.
Renee Fleming
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.
Renee Fleming
A lot of performers don't want to leave the circuit, the European opera house circuit, partly because most singers don't sing many concerts, or at least not while they are in their prime.
