I am never wrong when it comes to my possibilities.

The press regularly proclaims my ambitions and my financial demands.

I then realized that I could never be satisfied again with the mere natural charm of my voice, that I had to constantly paint when singing, melting all the colors, expressing reds and blacks that had to be less primary but bursting with subtly colored combinations.

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

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

In the last century, everybody was singing lower.

I attended less than two years of Conservatory in Mexico City.
