I Want To Keep My Voice Young,

At This Stage In My Career, I Don't Have To Take Any Big Risks. You Want To Take A Calculated Risk, Not One That Leads To People Saying 'yes, But There Was That One Time When She Made That Big Mistake.' It's Always A Shame When That Happens, Especially If You've Gotten By For Decades Without Anything Hugely Tragic.

No Voice Teacher Can Be All Things To All People. You Have To Gain Information From Whatever Sources You Can. You Have To Listen.

I Am So Envious Of My Colleagues From 100 Years Ago Who Only Sang New Works, They Hardly Ever Sang Revivals.

I Think Singing Is One Of The Most Natural Things That Human Beings Do, But It's Difficult.

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.
