More quotes by Renee Fleming
I enjoy the more floaty, exposed, elegant singing.
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
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
For years, I had no time for exploratory travel.
Renee Fleming
My whole career I played these girls sort of 18 to 23.
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
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
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'm reserved, so I've always needed to find a way of opening up. Jazz helped me do that.
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.
