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

Contrary to the norm, as my technique improved my voice became higher.

I learned so many roles so quickly as a young singer, I thought it was time to come back to them and make them better - deeper, more nuanced.

I've spent hours and hours doing research into Appalachian folk music. My grandfather was a fiddler. There is something very immediate, very simple and emotional, about that music.

For a while it was hard for me to say no to work.

My mother was the worst kind of stage mother. She would make me and my younger sister and brother little duckling costumes and put us in kiddie shows.

I want to keep my voice young, with nothing heavy.
