The public is a part of my real life.

When it becomes clear that no one else shares your level of passion, you are where you belong.

In the last century, everybody was singing lower.

The public made me and then encouraged me for many years, and my future even now depends upon it.

On the other hand, I have devoted so much energy to reach the top that I accept the stress of being there.

The high note is not the only thing.

The voice collects and translates your bad physical health, your emotional worries, your personal troubles.
