Sarah Brightman

"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."

"Sometimes theyre grey/green, sometimes theyre grey, and some people think they are blue. So, I cant tell you!"

"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 Phantom of the Opera and since then have always listened to it."

"The opera world was shocked! But the image is very classical. Its taken from Botticellis portrait of Venus, whos standing in a seashell with her hair covering her body. Its very sensual. It represents the vulnerable side of me. Although Im not wearing any clothes, it comes across very well."
