More quotes by Renee Fleming
Singers can also get away with a lot based on youth, strength and enthusiasm, only to find ten years later that what was once just a niggling problem has brought their careers to an end.
Renee Fleming
Perfection often creates such a flawless surface that there's no place for the audience to enter into a piece, while the idiosyncrasies of individual style are like windows into the singer's heart.
Renee Fleming
An interpretation exists because of what we find between the notes.
Renee Fleming
While it's a fact that a voice begins with natural talent, any talent must be nurtured, cajoled, wrestled with pampered, challenged, and, at every turn, examined.
Renee Fleming
I enjoy the more floaty, exposed, elegant singing.
Renee Fleming
Everybody's a work in progress. I'm a work in progress. I mean, I've never arrived. I'm still learning all the time.
Renee Fleming
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.

My worry is that opera will become an historic art form as opposed to a living, breathing thing.

Renee Fleming
I'm reserved, so I've always needed to find a way of opening up. Jazz helped me do that.

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
So much can be gained from watching other singers, seeing what they do and what they don't do, seeing how they look when they breathe, how wide they open their mouths for a high note.
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
Every singer eventually gets around to a Christmas disc.
Renee Fleming
Contrary to the norm, as my technique improved my voice became higher.
Renee Fleming
One of my timesaving habits is to save all of my magazines and junk mail for airplane trips. I walk on the plane with a very heavy bundle, but by the time the trip is over, it can all be thrown away.
Renee Fleming
For years, I had no time for exploratory travel.
Renee Fleming
Well, any time Im preparing for a performance or even a rehearsal, its as if in a way, like any other athletes, these are muscles that support the vocal cords which are just I believe cartilage. It demands a kind of constant warming up and a constant feeling of where is the voice today.
Renee Fleming
I don't want to record anything unless it can be great and genuinely interesting.
