More quotes by Renee Fleming
My whole career I played these girls sort of 18 to 23.
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'm reserved, so I've always needed to find a way of opening up. Jazz helped me do that.
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 have had a very difficult time with stage fright it undermines your well-being and peace of mind, and it can also threaten your livelihood.
Renee Fleming

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
While it's a fact that a voice begins with natural talent, any talent must be nurtured, cajoled, wrestled with pampered, challenged, and, at every turn, examined.
Renee Fleming
I'm American. I'm eclectic. I'm going to follow my musical passions. And if people don't like it, and it hurts my legacy, I'm not going to worry about that.
Renee Fleming
Every singer eventually gets around to a Christmas disc.
Renee Fleming
I enjoy the more floaty, exposed, elegant singing.
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
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 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 was constantly being pushed toward a European ideal of what it means to be a classical or opera singer, let's say in the Renata Tebaldi mode. I reject that.
