I'm Not Exactly An Angry Young Person.

I Don't Like To Sing Loud.

For Years, I Had No Time For Exploratory Travel.

Well, Any Time Im Preparing For A Performance Or Even A Rehearsal, Its As If In A Way, Like Any Other Athletes, These Are Muscles That Support The Vocal Cords Which Are Just I Believe Cartilage. It Demands A Kind Of Constant Warming Up And A Constant Feeling Of Where Is The Voice Today.

I Was Constantly Being Pushed Toward A European Ideal Of What It Means To Be A Classical Or Opera Singer, Let's Say In The Renata Tebaldi Mode. I Reject That.

In A Sense, It's Less About Seeing How High Up I Can Vault Than About Seeing How Deeply I Can Explore My Potential...ambition For Me Is About The Willingness To Work, The Ability To Mine My Own Soul Fearlessly.
