All I've Done All My Life Is

Singing Is A Way Of Escaping. It's Another World. I'm No Longer On Earth.

My Conservatory Is In The Streets. My Intelligence Is Instinct.

Never Acknowledge The Limitations Of Man. Smash All Boundaries! Deny Whatever Your Eyes See. Die Every Moment, But Say: "death Does Not Exist."

I Always Thought My Days Spent In Darkness [as A Child She Had Cataracts And Was Unable To See For Nearly Four Years] Gave Me A Very Special Sensitivity. Much Later, When I Really Wanted To Hear, Really 'see' A Song, I'd Close My Eyes, And When I Wanted To Bring It Out Of The Very Depths Of Myself, Out Of My Guts, Out Of My Belly, When The Song Had To Come From Far Away, I'd Close My Eyes.

I've Always Wanted To Sing, Just As I've Always Known That One Day I Would Have My Own Niche In The Annals Of Song. It Was A Feeling I Had.
