We are unique, each human voice, not because we are completely self-generated, but because of who we choose to assemble the countless factors that made us.

I don't want to be somebody who stands still and sings pretty. Each song is a world. Each song is a story. I don't achieve nearly what I want.

Singers can also get away with a lot based on youth, strength and enthusiasm, only to find ten years later that what was once just a niggling problem has brought their careers to an end.

Everybody's a work in progress. I'm a work in progress. I mean, I've never arrived. I'm still learning all the time.

I enjoy the more floaty, exposed, elegant singing.

Well, any time Im preparing for a performance or even a rehearsal, its as if in a way, like any other athletes, these are muscles that support the vocal cords which are just I believe cartilage. It demands a kind of constant warming up and a constant feeling of where is the voice today.

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