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.

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

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

Sometimes I sing very honestly, really as moving as possible.

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

I think it is nice to be a little magical. Today we need this. All that we can read in fairy tales or in books. I think somewhere it is all around us. But nowadays we can think that this magic has been killed and I am try to make it survive as long as possible.

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