A lot of my success comes from black music. It's something I'm very proud of.

When I started studying for the arias it was like going into training for a heavyweight title fight

I was blown away by the control and the range that I was hearing. I'm listening to Pavarotti and thinking, What the hell have I been doing with my voice all these years?

We used to call it recurrent airplay when someone had a hit

It's understanding the intention of a composer that allows a producer and an arranger to make those moments speak

To be honest I listen to the female opinion on my photos. If all the girls in the office choose a certain shot, even if I don't like it, it becomes a front runner because, really, what do I know about how others perceive me?

A 'passing' test doesn't mean 'no problem.' It means no problem *observed*. This time. With these inputs. So far. On my machine.
