I have so much respect for the big opera singers that I never dare to say I'm a singer.

I am what I am. I'm not going to get plastic surgery. I had this discussion with my younger son. We were at a dermatologist, and this dermatologist suggested to me that I wanted to avoid wrinkles. Those wrinkles show that I have laughed a lot in my life, why should I want to erase that? Why would I erase the traces of my life which I loved?

I never really caught on in America. I don't have an agent. It's too strange for me.
