Opera Is A Beautiful And Important Diversion

I'm A Perfectionist, And I Always Think That I Can Do Better What I Have Done, Even If It's Good.

I Want To Reach As Many People As Possible With The Message Of Music, Of Wonderful Opera.

You Never Know What Little Bundle Of Encouragements Artists Carry Around With Them, What Little Pats On The Back From What Hands, What Newspaper Clipping, What Word Of Hope From What Teacher. I Suppose The So-called Faith In Ourselves Is The Foundation Of Our Talent, But I Am Sure These Encouragements Are The Mortar That Holds It Together.

Above All, I Am An Opera Singer. This Is How People Will Remember Me.

I Am A Very Simple Person. In Spite Of All That Has Happened To Me, I Have Tried To Remain The Simple Person I Started Out.
