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 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
I have a certain image that's more classic, and I'm happy to stay out of the fray.
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
I think singing is one of the most natural things that human beings do, but it's difficult.
