Sarah Brightman quotes:

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.

I have a love-hate relationship with performing.

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.

As I'm sure you may know, I'm planning to become a spaceflight participant and have been recently approved to begin my spaceflight training by the Russian space federation having passed the necessary medical and physical tests.

The opportunity to orbit the Earth, witnessing multiple sunrises and sunsets every day, looking back to our small blue life-sustaining jewel from a distance, gives me the greatest sense of anticipation.

I just wanted a change. My hair started hurting my back, so I went to my hairdresser and said 'Take it off.' And I'm delighted with the results.

Finally my dream came true in that there was a possibility that I could travel to the International Space Station. I've gone through the medicals and the training and now I'm officially, by the Russian Space Federation, a cosmonaut in training.

Life is too complex to compress into soundbites. Every situation is different.

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.

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

I look at composers and conductors, anybody involved in music or writing or art in general; they got more done as they got older. If I can, I'll be one of those people because what I do is my passion.

I like, 'I Believe In Father Christmas' - that is one of my favorites it is a lovely composition; 'Colder Than Winter' as well. There are so many beautiful songs.

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.

I think of myself not just as a dreamer, but as a dream chaser.

I don't force myself to exercise; I find going to gyms really boring. I find it easier to go for a fast walk or a jog in Central Park. I wear sensible shoes because my ballet dancing left me with a bunion on one foot after all the pointe exercises.

I've wanted to go to space, really, since I was a little girl.

I had been overexposed in a particular way because my marriage to an extremely successful older man meant I was involved in his public life as well as my own.

I actually want to go up into space.

Philosophy changes day by day.

When you gaze at stars and think about planets, the places it takes your imagination are amazing! You look up the sky, and you know the stars have always been here; they were referenced in biblical times and have always been present. They are somewhere up there in the future, and they guide you; they make you feel safe.

I can never say that I will never return to musical theatre. There may be a part in the future that I really want to do. I love plays as well. I am very open to ideas. I hope to do many things in the future.

I am an interpreter of music rather than a composer of it.

We are all made up of stars and all of us are billions of years old - that's what I believe, at least.

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

I've always been interested in space and the idea of exploration in that area since I was a child growing up through the '60s.

I was born in 1960, and space theory, especially in the last part of that time and going into the '70s, space was very relevant at that time. It was on television - all the experiments, the moon landings, everything like that.

I am not a composer of music; I sing pieces which have been written for me which gives me bigger freedom to search for pieces I want to record.

I've always been involved with all aspects of my careers. Being behind the camera seems as natural as in front.

A journey into space is the greatest adventure I can imagine.

Love sees sharply, hatred sees even more sharp, but Jealousy sees the sharpest for it is love and hate at the same time.

I love the intimacy of making movies. The focus is deeper and much more intense than musical theatre.

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

I feel a tremendous sense of accomplishment. Everything is in tune: the voice, the type of music, who I am and who people think I am.

There is a reason that both have had the longevity in their careers that they have had. They have each done very different things throughout their careers and lived really interesting lives. There is a reason why they are up there still. After all, there is only one Barbra Streisand and one Liza Minnelli.

As I get older, I become more imaginative and feel like I have maybe a shorter time to get a lot of things going on in my mind done.

Apparently, everyone is most scared of the psychological tests. I didn't know how I'd fare. What I've found out is I may be creative and imaginative, but I'm also extremely together.

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

I never thought that I would be creating my own 'cross-over' genre. What I did was very real and organic. I have worked in so many different styles so it all just came together.

I have the sort of round face that you complain about when you're younger, but which serves you well as you get older.

I don't think I would get married again; I don't know if I'm a very good candidate because of all the touring I do.

I am an expert in the 'art of the possible.'

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

I do quite a lot of flying in my concerts.

I don't want to see pictures of Hollywood stars in their dressing gowns taking out the rubbish. It ruins the fantasy.

I feel very lucky for that gift that I was given but it´s been quite tough to deal with sometimes too. When you are blessed with something like this and it brings emotions to people - to keep up to the magical standard that everybody wants it to be and the perfection - can be hard.

I have my own little path, and although I delve into things, I stay with what I am. Im quite natural with it. Maybe people feel comfortable with that and they trust it, so they buy it. Theyll come and see me in concert. I think I always do a good job in that area.

I think that it is always hard to find two voices that fit together well.

I'm an interpreter of music.

It's in everyone's best interest to help close the gender gap in the sciences.

My fans want me with my hair.

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.

Some people want to give money to their children, buy houses, go on a holiday - whatever it is that they want to invest in. This particular journey has been something that I wanted to do most of my life, but there was no real opportunity to do so.

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.

When the audition for 'Cats' came up, even though I'd been making pop records, it felt like something I was attracted to.

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

You should do what you can to enjoy every moment.
