I have not changed with the accomplishments. I've remained the same. If I had changed, great. You know, but I haven't.

I'm lucky - I can do two things at once.

I want to get out of the major opera houses.

Every singer eventually gets around to a Christmas disc.

I'm not a reactionary.

Music enabled me as a fragile young person to give voice to emotions I could barely name, and how it enables me to give my voice the unique and mysterious power to speak to others.

I don't like to sing loud.
