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.

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

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.

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

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.

I go on stage and people like what I look like; as soon as I'm outside I feel like I have to hide, because people laugh at me, because of the way I look. Now, I use this look, it works for me, I even exaggerate it. I used to hide my large forehead, but now I'm selling it.

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