I lusted to sing Norma after being in those performances with Callas. But I knew that I could not sing it the way she did. It was 10 years before I sang the role. During that time I studied it, sang bits of it, and worked with Richard. But I had to evolve my own way to sing it, and I would have wrecked my voice to ribbons had I tried to sing it like her.

I love all those demented old dames of the old operas. All right, so they're loony. The music's wonderful.
