I've had great people come in my life, meaning not just men, but women, support me and empower me. So that has lifted me to be the woman I am.

I'm not competing with anyone, or begging someone to love me. I feel like I'm loved and I deserve to be where I am.

There's always a story in music, and it's expressed through my music.

I'm everything I'm made of. So a part of me is made of classical music. I'm grateful for it.

I love opera so much. I would never go back to doing it, but I love to listen - I'm grateful for it. I studied diction, breathing control, phrasing, why the song means something. You want to bring that across to your listeners.

Let your work speak for you.Stay humble.And just DO the work.

When you don't know how beautiful you are, you will always be in search of happiness.
