Action Is The Antidote To Despair.

To Sing Is To Love And Affirm, To Fly And To Soar, To Coast Into The Hearts Of The People Who Listen To Tell Them That Life Is To Live, That Love Is There, That Nothing Is A Promise, But That Beauty Exists, And Must Be Hunted For And Found.

I Have Heard More Than Once, 'shut Up And Sing!' And I Get It Now.

I Never Pretended To Be Rock Star. I Would Make A Lousy Rock Star. I Don't Have The Right Voice For It. I Don't Have The "sex, Drugs And Rock 'n' Roll" Spirit. But The Greatest Flattery In The Last Couple Of Years Is Being Called A "badass" By Young Singers.

I Think I Would Have Had An Easier Time Of It If I Had Had Training Much Earlier. Because When I Got To The Training, It Was In My Late 30s And I Already Probably Had Every Bad Habit A Singer Could Have. In Fact, It Still Goes On. It's Un-training Those Habits And Retraining New Ones - The Breathing, The Relaxation, The Tongue, The Lungs, The Everything.

The Foundation Of My Beliefs Is The Same As It Was When I Was 10. Non-violence.
