The reason fat people are happy is that the nerves are well protected.

I am a very superstitious person.

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

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

When I'm about to train a new opera, I first listen to how Jussi Björling did it. His voice was unique and it's his path that I want to follow. I would more than anything else wish that people compared me with Jussi Björling. It's like so I'm striving to sing.

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

Some say the word 'pop' is a derogatory word to say 'not important' - I do not accept that. If the word 'classic' is the word to say 'boring,' I do not accept. There is good and bad music.
