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

I will prove that a great conducting career is expecting me.

Young singers are much better educated musically, much better informed, through discs and videos, than I was.

If money was my only motivation, I would organize myself differently.

Should it happen tomorrow, I would fall to my knees to give thanks to God for such a career.

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.

I am never wrong when it comes to my possibilities.
