I'm Completely In Charge Of My Own

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

The Word 'no' Is A Very Good Word In A Singer's Repertoire.

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.

When I'm Alone At Home, I Really Prefer To Listen To Wagner's Orchestral Music Rather Than Any Vocal Music. I Find It Illuminating Not To Have To Pay Attention To Voices In The Recordings.
