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
Music enabled me as a fragile young person to give voice to emotions I could barely name, and how it enables me to give my voice the unique and mysterious power to speak to others.
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
Music was language in our house. It was air.....I feel certain that if I absorbed any lessons at all in the first months and years of my life, they must have been about the work that went into making a beautiful sound.
Renee Fleming
For years, I had no time for exploratory travel.
Renee Fleming
