Quote

I used to be afraid of looking at the audience.

I had no fear 'cause it seemed everyone in the audience always applauded whatever I did. Course, maybe it was because I always seemed to know everyone in the audience.

I was never part of the crowd.

I've never wanted to do something where I'd berate the audience.

I was never particularly fond of my voice.

I had no intention of being an entertainer.

Even I had no opportunity to conduct very many concerts after World War II.

I had no ambition to become an actor at all.
