People do accuse me of being just decorative or an escapist - well I am. That's what I do. I am other things as well. I transcend the song and give it a different meaning.

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.

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

I come as the wicked witch from the Barock era.

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.

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

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