I Learn My Songs By

I Am Harder On Myself Than Anyone Else Could Be.

I Sometimes Get That Wonderful Sympathy Between Me And The Audience, Telling Me I've Reached Their Hearts. And When I Do, The Thrill Is Mine.

I Shall Always Respect The Composer. If I Embellish, It Is His Idea I Am Embellishing.

Because Of My Voice, Speaking Words Which Had Been Carefully Chosen, Women Had Used Money They Had Set Aside For Other Purposes To Buy War Bonds.

My Singing Is Part Of Me, Like My Stoutness, Or My Light Hair, Or My Poor Eyesight.
