Why should be elite, music? Excuse me. Music must be for everybody.

I want to reach as many people as possible with the message of music, of wonderful opera.

I think Beijing deserves the Olympics in order to be with all the rest of the world recognized.

I received a beautiful welcome to the world of music. I want to give something back to the younger generation.

The music itself could never take the place of my own passion in life.

I want to be famous everywhere.

There is no prodigy in our profession. If you see all the great singer of the past, none of them are.
