Maria Callas Quotations

I admire Tebaldi's tone; it's beautiful - also some beautiful phrasing. Sometimes, I actually wish I had her voice.

I will not be sued! I have the voice of an angel!

I was always too mature for my age - and not very happy. I had no young friends. I wish I could go back to those days. If I could only live it all again, how I would play and enjoy other girls. What a fool I was.

I cannot switch my voice. My voice is not like an elevator going up and down.

Love is so much better when you are not married.

My poor sight gives me an advantage. I can't see the people in the audience who are scratching their heads while I am lost in my role and giving everything I have to the drama.

Paris dictates fashion to the whole world.

When the curtain rises, the only thing that speaks is courage.

If I have stepped on some people at times because I am at the top, it couldn't be helped. What should I do if someone gets hurt... retire?

Only my dogs will not betray me.
