I am exceedingly lucky that my voice, along with perfect pitch and perfect rhythm, was given me at birth.

I am lucky: I have fantastic doctors and a fantastic dentist.

I am continually embarrassed by people who point me out as an example of what can be done without training.

I shall always respect the composer. If I embellish, it is his idea I am embellishing.

I am a lucky, lucky person.

Everyone wants me to be perfect, but I am so far from perfect!
