No voice teacher can be all things to all people. You have to gain information from whatever sources you can. You have to listen. -Renee Fleming Teacher
I think opera has gained a kind of glamorous appeal. It's a live performance that aligns all of the arts, and when it is represented in the media, in film in particular, it is presented as something that is really a special event, whether it's a great date or something that's just hugely romantic. -Renee Fleming Romantic
Learning operatic roles is ongoing, and I find that I can learn on the train or subway, during a manicure, getting my hair done, and even while driving if I only look at the score at red lights. -Renee Fleming Learning
I've always been inspired by artists who have shown musical and intellectual curiosity and the courage to take risks. -Renee Fleming Courage
Everybody's a work in progress. I'm a work in progress. I mean, I've never arrived... I'm still learning all the time. -Renee Fleming Learning
