Music in general and lately opera in particular fills my soul with hope and inspiration.

Music in general and lately opera in particular fills my soul with hope and inspiration.

I try to be mindful in my daily life, trying to stay more present and have more intention. It keeps me calm, and I feel less whipped about by my emotions.

Nothing matters as long as you are kind and authentic. If you are, then you did your best, and that is all you can do.

I feel most spiritual when I am listening to a soprano voice soaring to the top of its range at the most dramatic point of an aria. It feels like a geyser shooting up from the center of the earth and reaching for the stars.

Put positive energy out into the world. If everybody did that, we would be in harmony.

Love is all that matters.
