What is sad is not to be able to do today what you have done in your youth. But what is good is to remember that - when you were able - you did it to the best of your ability.

I am never wrong when it comes to my possibilities.

Between parts I was too old for and roles that were too overwhelming, out of reach then for my voice. I carved out a niche with the Wagnerian repertoire since I am attracted by its theatrical intensity.

Let us be clear: I take ten times more money for a concert than for an opera performance.

The atmosphere of the theater is my oxygen.

When a young artist is ready, one has to bring him into the limelight.

We all have a destiny in accordance with the breadth of our shoulders. My shoulders are broad.
