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

One of the very nicest things about life is the way we must regularly stop whatever it is we are doing and devote our attention to eating.

It is so important for people at a young age to be invited to embrace classical music and opera.

I am a tenor buff. I hear myself.

Children should be given the chance to play instruments, to sing.

In opera, as with any performing art, to be in great demand and to command high fees you must be good of course, but you must also be famous. The two are different things.

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