I Felt That The Studio Recording Process

I Really Believe I've Been A Good Person. Not Perfect - Forget About Perfect - But Just Learning By What I Was Taught And Living By My Own Values. I Might Have Stepped On A Few Ants - And A Few Other Things As Well - But I've Never Hurt Anybody.

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.

I Never Had The Influence Of Any Other Singer In My Music, So I Sounded Like Myself All The Time.
