If I Have Stepped On Some People

It Takes A Little More Time To Get Into The Role, But Not Very Much More. In Making A Record You Don't Have The Sense Of Projection Over A Distance As In An Opera House. We Have This Microphone And This Magnifies All Details Of A Performance, All Exaggerations. In The Theater, You Can Get Away With A Very Large, Very Grand Phrase. For The Microphone, You Have To Tone It Down. It's The Same As Making A Film, Your Gestures Will Be Seen In Close-up, So They Cannot Be Exaggerated As They Would Be In A Theater.

I Was Always Too Mature For My Age - And Not Very Happy. I Had No Young Friends. I Wish I Could Go Back To Those Days. If I Could Only Live It All Again, How I Would Play And Enjoy Other Girls. What A Fool I Was.

I Cannot Switch My Voice. My Voice Is Not Like An Elevator Going Up And Down.

On Stage, I Am In The Dark.

I Admire Tebaldi's Tone; It's Beautiful - Also Some Beautiful Phrasing. Sometimes, I Actually Wish I Had Her Voice.
