Opera Is For A Lifetime, Not Just

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.

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'm More Confident Now Than I've Ever Been. As You Get Older, You Have To Be.

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