I am not an angel and do not pretend to be. That is not one of my roles. But I am not a devil, either. I am a woman and a serious artist, and I would like so to be judged.

I cannot switch my voice. My voice is not like an elevator going up and down.

I prepare myself for rehearsals like I would for marriage.

If I have stepped on some people at times because I am at the top, it couldn't be helped. What should I do if someone gets hurt... retire?

ART is domination. It's making people think that for that precise moment in time there is only one way, one voice. Yours.

I don't know what happens to me on stage. Something else seems to take over.
