I Never Had The Influence Of Any

That's Been My Sort Of Aim In Life, To Never Miss An Opportunity.

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.

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

I Grew Up In The New Zealand Countryside. We Didn't Have Television Until I Was 14, So Sing-alongs Were Our Only Entertainment.

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.
