I consider myself a method singer, not a method actor. I applied method acting to singing.

I always feel the audience is my best teacher.

I'm not the type of person who likes to look backwards. I've always felt compelled to move forward and I've never been one to dwell in the past. All the people I've met, all the places I've been, and all the things that I've done have simply been part of who I am.

My goal as a creative person is to express truth and beauty in whatever I do

If you are creative, you get busier as you get older.

I have to say I owe my career to the master composers of the Great American Songbook who have written such high-quality songs - the best popular music ever composed.

I can't ask for more out of life, and the more I learn, the less I know.
