I feel threatened, and sometimes it makes me angry because I can't do anything about that, there's just too many issues. But in a way I think my work is meant to get people out of that.

Well, you know, I am in the business and I like to promote myself.

People should allow me to be many things, really give me the room to put things in another dimension.

It was just as shocking for me to sing opera in a falsetto soprano in Germany.

Elvis Presley is my spiritual father, and as you may know Maria Callas is my spiritual mother.

I'm from Planet Nomi where I wear black lipstick so you can see my lips and what I am doing with them.

I am singing in an operatic voice for the public, to bring something more to Rock and Roll. Because in a Rock and Roll performance, the singer talks to the public whereas in Opera the singer only talks to a character, inside a story. The public sees this as a picture, I want to transport this picture into the room where the public is.
