I Don't Find Much Influence In Opera.

True Expression Is Hard When Performing Opera. The Problem Is That Opera Relies On The Dramatic Context Of The Piece. It Can Be Interpreted And Represented, But There Are Guidelines; There Is A Vocabulary Within The Pieces That You Must Know Objectively And Reflect.

I Try To Create Songs That Are Really Massive And Intense, But At The Same Time Remaining Honest And Raw.

As A Child, I Was Always Making Sound; It Was A Compulsion. I Loved To Scream And Yell And Sing; It Freed Me From All The Thoughts In My Head. I Begged For Opera Lessons Because Opera Singing Is The Most Formidable, Most Emotional Way To Use Your Voice.

People Don't Really Understand Who I Am. They Always Think That I'm Very Dark Or Depressed, But It Couldn't Be Further From The Truth!

I Feel Like I Am Alone When I Am In The Presence Of Those I Love. It Is So Freeing And Comfortable, You Become One With Them.
