I'm a perfectionist, and I always think that I can do better what I have done, even if it's good.
It is a very honest world, our work. I think you cannot fake anything.
Above all, I am an opera singer. This is how people will remember me.
As an art form, opera is a rare and remarkable creation. For me, it expresses aspects of the human drama that cannot be expressed in any other way, or certainly not as beautifully.
Some singers want the audience to love them. I love the audience.
Am I afraid of high notes? Of course I am afraid. What sane man is not?
