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

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

I did every thing, even dirty jobs like dishwashing or delivery boy for a grocer.

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.

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

What makes life complicated is the things that are on me and it is very hard to keep things simple. I see it as I am complicated and there is innocence to this.
