Sarah Brightman Quotes

1. Anything can happen to anyone at any time and you shouldn't just live through the days, or you lose them. You should do what you can to enjoy every moment.

 

2. I love a challenge and the last four years it has all come to fruition and it has been wonderful.

3. In the past, I always used to be looking for answers. Today, I know there are only questions. So I just live.

4. Being varied is something I do instinctively and naturally. I feel a tremendous sense of accomplishment.

5. I can't be a wife. I'm not that sort of person. Wives have to compromise all the time.

6. I am not quite sure where home is right now. I do have places in London and Milan, and a house in Spain. I guess I would say home is where my mother is, and she lives in Spain.

7. I have a love-hate relationship with performing.

8. I think I've probably re-invented myself three or four times now, if that's what one calls it.

9. You do have to be fairly selfish when you have a gift. You cannot afford to let too many outside things get in the way.

10. Right before I go on stage I'm absolutely terrified. My mind darts at many directions but the center of me is going forward into the performance.

11. People have said there is an integrity about me, and I think there is. I don't try to follow a trend. I have my own little path.

12. It really is strange the way I work for success but when I get there cannot appreciate it. I enjoy the road to success and the struggle - even when it becomes hard. But when I achieve my goal, I feel suddenly and totally stressed. Only in retrospect can I begin to enjoy the moment and admit just how great it was.

13. When I sing, I close my eyes. If I see a feather, everything is fine. Without this image in my mind, the sound is not "truthful" enough and I must begin again. I have to. I first had this feeling, this instinct, with "The Phantom of the Opera", and since then have always listened to it.

14. My fans want me with my hair.

15. I live in a plane more or less.

16. I'm a very talented person, I know that. I'm a very gifted person. I have a lot of imagination. I work hard. I feel I have the attributes within myself to have achieved what I have done. There has been no luck, no miracles. The only miracle has been this voice. 

17. It was such a creative time. Everything was happening very fast. He was writing, I was singing. He was inspired, and I was inspired. I didn't really have time to think about it. I didn't really have time to read things about it, either. I got a sense of things, which made me quite nervous at times. But, no, we were running all the time then, doing things. It was fun, but also a lot of pressure.  (on her marriage to Andrew Lloyd Webber)

18. I don't know who my audience is. People have said there is an integrity about me, and I think there is. I don't try to follow a trend. I have my own little path, and although I delve into things, I stay with what I am. I'm quite natural with it. Maybe people feel comfortable with that and they trust it, so they buy it. They'll come and see me in concert. I think I always do a good job in that area. 

19. The opera world was shocked! But the image is very classical. It's taken from Botticelli's portrait of Venus, who's standing in a seashell with her hair covering her body. It's very sensual. It represents the vulnerable side of me. Although I'm not wearing any clothes, it comes across very well.  (on the promotional photos for her Classics CD)

20. Sometimes they're grey/green, sometimes they're grey, and some people think they are blue. So, I can't tell you!  (on the colour of her eyes)
