The voice is something very mysterious. It's difficult to say what is inside a voice that moves people.

What I've realized, and had to become comfortable with, is that I'm just, I don't think, a star. I'm an actor.

Everybody wants to be a star right now, to be heard, to have a voice, so you have to give the confidence for people to have that ability - and give them the wardrobe to become a star.

You need a bit more to be a pop star than just a good voice.

I've always been searching to arrive at a certain voice that will probably elude me forever.

There are certain stars who are not actors. I don't want to be that type.

But I still don't have a clear idea of what my voice is.

I never knew that I had an unusual voice. It wasn't something anybody really pointed out to me.

Stars are rare creatures, and not everyone can be one. But there isn't anyone on earth - not you, not me, not the girl next door - who wouldn't like to be a movie star holding up that gold statuette on Academy Award night.

Voices are like fingerprints, from Cagney to Bogart. They never lost it. My voice is instrumental in categorizing me.
