Quotes for Emotion

For me, to be diva is to have an evening when you are on stage and you are in good form. To have respect for everybody - for colleagues, for the maestro, for the audience. And to give emotion while you sing. If you're talented, you try to do the best you can. But you don't make problems. I respect everybody. For me this is a diva.
