Attachment to spiritual things is.. just as much an attachment as inordinate love of anything else.
Quote by -Beverly Sills
It was a large voice, and she was a little girl. You know, we were Mutt and Jeff onstage.
Quote by -Beverly Sills
Opera is music AND drama. I'm prepared to sacrifice the beautiful note for the meaningful sound any time... I can make a pretty tone as well as anyone, but there are times when the drama of a scene demands the opposite of a pretty sound.
Quote by -Beverly Sills
I had found a kind of serenity, a new maturity... I didn't feel better or stronger than anyone else but it seemed no longer important whether everyone loved me or not -more important now was for me to love them. Feeling that way turns your whole life around; living becomes the act of giving.

Quote by -Beverly Sills
I really do believe I can accomplish a great deal with a big grin, I know some people find that disconcerting, but that doesn't matter.

The last major childhood disease remains and it's the worst of them all: nuclear war.
Quote by -Beverly Sills
As soon as I arrive at the house, Laurie starts running, hits my chest, knocks me down, and licks my face. It's become a family ritual.
Quote by -Beverly Sills
The Lourie Center eases the burden of children and their families through early intervention and diagnoses and treatment.
Quote by -Beverly Sills
There were times in my career ... when I felt like a trapeze artist doing dangerous somersaults without a net underneath. When you execute those somersaults flawlessly, the audience feels the same sense of triumph the performer does.
Quote by -Beverly Sills
I know that anybody who does all this and doesn't have to, everything thinks she's very driven. The truth is, I enjoy it all so! Can't it be that simple? I think it is! I don't feel overworked. I get a constant kick out of being heavily committed. Is that sick or something? God, what would I do sitting still?
Quote by -Beverly Sills
Just sing it. Don't prove you can sing it. I know you can, you know you can. So just do it, because if you try to prove it, you'll lose.
Quote by -Beverly Sills
Opera is an extremely disciplined art form, and every excess a singer indulges in has a direct effect on the voice.
Quote by -Beverly Sills
I've always tried to be cheerful, because I think people who whine are boring, and I never could tolerate bores.
Quote by -Beverly Sills
The press frequently sneers at the hype devoted to a superstar, but the press itself is responsible for all the hype.
Quote by -Beverly Sills
So long as it doesn't get to the point where you don't remember whose opera you're listening to, I'm willing to experiment.

Quote by -Beverly Sills
My voice had a long, nonstop career. It deserves to be put to bed with quiet and dignity, not yanked out every once in a while to see if it can still do what it used to do. It can't.
Quote by -Beverly Sills
My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, for man's anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires.

Quote by -Beverly Sills
You don't always get what you ask for, but you never get what you don't ask for... unless it's contagious!
Quote by -Beverly Sills
A primary function of art and thought is to liberate the individual from the tyranny of his culture in the environmental sense and to permit him to stand beyond it in an autonomy of perception and judgment.
Quote by -Beverly Sills
There is a growing strength in women but it's in the forehead, not the forearm.
Quote by -Beverly Sills
A happy woman is one who has no cares at all; a cheerful woman is one who has cares but doesn't let them get her down.
