My music is L-O-V-E because it's a gift, and you only give something when you feel it deeply.

There are moments in my show that are very moving as well as amusing.

The way I look is part of it. It sounds affected but I do see myself as a piece of living art.

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.

When I was twelve, the biggest name in Rock and Roll was Elvis Presley. I bought an EP, "King Creole". I hid it in the basement, but my mother found it.

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

I do kind of transcend the song and give it a different meaning.
