I just can't read music.

Ice cream was my undoing, and six chocolate milk shakes in a row were nothing to me at one time.

Every small town has its dramatic group, its barber-shop quartet, every home has music in one form or another.

During the presidential primaries of 1940, I received a request from the Democratic National Committee to sing God Bless America before the speeches.

There's no second chance on stage, and I was trained to make the most of my first chance.

I must work hard to make my singing above reproach; there must be no faults which hard work would take care of.

My singing is part of me, like my stoutness, or my light hair, or my poor eyesight.

after several months of probation work, standing on my feet some ten to twelve hours a day, I decided that as a nurse I was a pretty good entertainer.

I was always daydreaming about singing in big productions on Broadway.

And when all is said and done, there is no greater success in the world than just being happy.

Intelligent analysis of the composer's intention and strict adherence to it automatically ensures sincerity.

One moment of true happiness was worth all the moments of pain. (Jessica)

One who prays ceaselessly is one who combines prayer with work and work with prayer.

If I didn't know you I would say I don't know you.

My team and I have reunited two elements that coexist with difficulty: respect and affection, because when they love you they don't respect you and when they respect you they don't love you.

For me, fashion begins in New York.

I think everything is happening all the time, but if you don't put yourself in the path of it, you miss it.

It's God's job to run the world. Sometimes we accomplish more by doing less.

Even when there’s a straight path in front of us, we, unfortunately, and foolishly, turn right~ around and it’s after that we realize it.

I seek out songs that I believe in. You have to believe it in your heart first. Then the listener will believe it.

... What matter, so there is but fire In you, in me?
