I Knew That I Could Be More

When I'm Alone At Home, I Really Prefer To Listen To Wagner's Orchestral Music Rather Than Any Vocal Music. I Find It Illuminating Not To Have To Pay Attention To Voices In The Recordings.

Opera Is For A Lifetime, Not Just A Minute.

My Children Are My Children. There's No Doubt About That At All. They're Very Strong Towards Me, Very Protective, And I Towards Them. It Works Both Ways.

I Knew That I Could Be More Creative Onstage, To State My Own Case And Deliver My Own Interpretation Of The Role Much More Aggressively Than In The Recording Studio.

When I Perform Strauss, It Is As If The Music Fits Me Like A Glove. My Voice Seems To Lie In A Happy Area In This Music, Which Is Lyrical And Passionate At The Same Time.
