The more you put into it, the more you and the audience will get out of it.

For years, I had no time for exploratory travel.

I think singing it when its done well is extremely natural. It feels great.

My whole career I played these girls sort of 18 to 23.

With classical singing you have to put out so much air - you project, you emit force.

My philosophy is that the people around us are there doing as much work if not more work behind the scenes and they're the last people you would ever be unkind to, so I hope I'm not a diva off stage.

I want to get out of the major opera houses.
