For years, I had no time for exploratory travel.

We sing with the entire body. The sounds that we make emanate not just from the head, but from the whole heart and soul, and, most important, the gut.

An interpretation exists because of what we find between the notes.

I listen to archival and historic recordings. I love watching singers. I learned a lot from watching videos.

Every singer eventually gets around to a Christmas disc.

I am so envious of my colleagues from 100 years ago who only sang new works, they hardly ever sang revivals.

I have a certain image that's more classic, and I'm happy to stay out of the fray.
