I am a very superstitious person.

Above all, I am an opera singer. This is how people will remember me.

If I could live my life over again, there is one thing I would change. I would want to be able to eat less.

It is a very honest world, our work. I think you cannot fake anything.

The rivalry is with ourself. I try to be better than is possible. I fight against myself, not against the other.

I am a very simple person. In spite of all that has happened to me, I have tried to remain the simple person I started out.

The better voice doesn't mean being a better singer.
