My Whole Career I Played These Girls

Being Steeped In The Process Of Learning And Exploring Keeps Me From Becoming Too Nervous. Partly It's About Not Getting Bored.

A Lot Of Performers Don't Want To Leave The Circuit, The European Opera House Circuit, Partly Because Most Singers Don't Sing Many Concerts, Or At Least Not While They Are In Their Prime.

My Parents Discussed Singing Every Night Over The Dinner Table; I Had A Tremendous Music Education.

My Philosophy Is That The People Around Us Are There Doing As Much Work If Not More Work Behind The Scenes And They're The Last People You Would Ever Be Unkind To, So I Hope I'm Not A Diva Off Stage.

I Think Opera Has Gained A Kind Of Glamorous Appeal. It's A Live Performance That Aligns All Of The Arts, And When It Is Represented In The Media, In Film In Particular, It Is Presented As Something That Is Really A Special Event, Whether It's A Great Date Or Something That's Just Hugely Romantic.
