I love energy and people; gosh I love people even when they got on my nerves.

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.

I'm just happy that I'm able to take care of what I need to take care of, live, and do the thing that I love the most and that is to sing. People want to hear it, buy it, see it, hold it, record it, bootleg it. It's fine with me as long as it's good but when it's bad I'm in trouble!

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

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

Just be open, life is about a constant journey and I'm very spiritual, but I'm also in touch with what's going on around me and who I am, and you have to know yourself. So for me, that's what keeps me going is just being interactive.

our product will speak for itself if it's that good and your fan base will come and people will want it. Having the right people in your circle is very important to help support that.
