The way I look it is hard to look like a normal person. You know, in the streets when I was a kid, people always said I looked strange, and it made me feel unhappy.

I think opera music is very conservative, and Rock and Roll music is conservative as well, and that's why I'm trying to make a bridge between these two elements.

I think I do have my own technique. I don't like to depend on teachers. So I'm walking on my own way, and I try to be as natural as I can. I think it's the only way to be yourself.

Every time I bought a Rock and Roll record, I bought a classical record at the same time. I like each as well as the other.

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

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.

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