More quotes by 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
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 worry is that opera will become an historic art form as opposed to a living, breathing thing.
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
Your brain has a music room, and evolution would not have gone to the trouble of designing that if it didn't have some benefits. So, that suggests to me that we and our ancestors have had music as a central part of our experience for eons. And we're just beginning to understand how that might be. I think that's fascinating.
Renee Fleming
I was always a very good student.
Renee Fleming
We are unique, each human voice, not because we are completely self-generated, but because of who we choose to assemble the countless factors that made us.
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
My mother was the worst kind of stage mother. She would make me and my younger sister and brother little duckling costumes and put us in kiddie shows.
Renee Fleming
I don't want to record anything unless it can be great and genuinely interesting.
Renee Fleming
For years, I had no time for exploratory travel.
Renee Fleming
A lot of bad behavior in singers is caused by nerves.
Renee Fleming
I think singing is one of the most natural things that human beings do, but it's difficult.
Renee Fleming
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.
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.
Renee Fleming
I haven't really been able to transfer into that extraordinarily other worldly creature, other than I hope on stage.
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
Every singer eventually gets around to a Christmas disc.
Renee Fleming
I have a certain image that's more classic, and I'm happy to stay out of the fray.
