I Have Not Changed With The Accomplishments.

Very Few Opera Singers In History Have Been Able To Cross Into Popular Music.

For My Own Singing, I Used To Be Attracted By The Baroque, The Flashier The Better, But Now I Prefer A Simpler, Purer Style.

I've Spent Hours And Hours Doing Research Into Appalachian Folk Music. My Grandfather Was A Fiddler. There Is Something Very Immediate, Very Simple And Emotional, About That Music.

I Think Singing It When Its Done Well Is Extremely Natural. It Feels Great.

I Want To Keep My Voice Young, With Nothing Heavy.
