‘I Will Always Be as’ — Maria Callas Quote Tee | Wear Words Black-on-White Statement Shirt — Oversized Tee

“I will always be as difficult as necessary to achieve the best.” Maria Callas backed the sentence with a career of scandals that were really standards — the walkouts, the cancellations, a press corps that filed her perfectionism under “temperament” because a woman was doing it, right up to her final performances in the 1960s and ’70s. She wore “difficult” as the honest cost of holding the bar exactly where it belonged.

**AS Colour 5082 “Faded Bone” — Oversized Tee (Cream finish).** 100% carded cotton, heavyweight 240 gsm, garment-dyed — each tee fades a little differently, so no two are identical. Oversized, boxy relaxed fit, dropped shoulders, wide twin-stitched ribbed neck, side-seamed, pre-shrunk (size down for a less roomy look). Care: machine wash cold inside-out with like colors, do NOT bleach, do NOT tumble dry (line dry in the shade to protect the garment dye), cool iron inside-out (never iron the print).
