More quotes by 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
Contrary to the norm, as my technique improved my voice became higher.
Renee Fleming
I was always a very good student.
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
I think singing is one of the most natural things that human beings do, but it's difficult.
Renee Fleming
I don't want to record anything unless it can be great and genuinely interesting.
Renee Fleming
I'm lucky - I can do two things at once.
Renee Fleming
We sing with the entire body. The sounds that we make emanate not just from the head, but from the whole heart and soul, and, most important, the gut.
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
My whole career I played these girls sort of 18 to 23.
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
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.
Renee Fleming
Someone once said that there are probably seven naturally good singing days in a year-and those are days you won't be booked. What we must learn is how to sing through all the other days.
Renee Fleming
A lot of bad behavior in singers is caused by nerves.
Renee Fleming
I enjoy the more floaty, exposed, elegant singing.
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
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
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.
Renee Fleming
I'm reserved, so I've always needed to find a way of opening up. Jazz helped me do that.
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.
