That's Been My Sort Of Aim In

Opera Is For A Lifetime, Not Just A Minute.

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.

I Really Believe I've Been A Good Person. Not Perfect - Forget About Perfect - But Just Learning By What I Was Taught And Living By My Own Values. I Might Have Stepped On A Few Ants - And A Few Other Things As Well - But I've Never Hurt Anybody.

My Energy Is Undiminished. Someone Said To Me The Other Day, 'are You Retired?' And I Said, 'well, I'm Just Trying To Prove That I'm Not.' There's So Many Things To Do.

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.
