Leontyne Price - precious words

I love the part where she refers to personal problems and people who talk about them. "That just sounds like whining to me." People sure do whine a lot.
She is amazing and her love for her own voice is inspiring. So few people admit that they are in need of their own voice, to hear it. That's the way it should be. How should one expect anyone else wanting to hear it if we don't. I guess listening to only your old recordings could get a bit lonely. Isn't that what Callas did?
I imagine she would need the time now to process this incredible life and listening helps her do it, or not?
She is from the era of the diva and it's so great to watch. Also one of the few singers who truly loved Herbert von Karajan. This video is a treasure because she is so sincere and gives great advice. Don't you just want that mirror!
