So you see, movies are really another dimension.

Well, what I tried to do is to just listen to my voice, because my voice is my boss. She decides.

The voice is certainly important and you can hear if it's beautiful or not, it's the gods who decide; it's more a question of what you do with the voice, which is the mysterious element. It's the personality behind the voice which makes the artist. The voice is a gift of God, but if you're not able to use this gift, what's left? Nothing but a beautiful voice, without nuance or color.

You must feel what you're singing, not just have a good presentation of the language.

I did a concert... in September with the Berlin Philharmonic... They're great musicians, and there's always something to learn from them.

It's such a joy to work with different ensembles and create a collaboration. Rehearsing and building a performance is very interesting for me.

People realize that Salieri is not the man we saw in the Amadeus movie. That man had no talent. It was a great movie, but the Salieri character was a big fiction.
