Renee Fleming

It is always fragile, being a parent.

I do everything in the third person. Performance is about being someone else.

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.

Marriage can be work, it can be difficult, it can be hard, but I think working through those times makes you stronger as a couple and as a unit.

I suffer greatly from nerves. I have stage-fright badly, and it gets worse, but the stage is still my life.

But I'm a rock 'n' roll singer; that's my livelihood, my occupation.
