A Lot Of Bad Behavior

So Much Can Be Gained From Watching Other Singers, Seeing What They Do And What They Don't Do, Seeing How They Look When They Breathe, How Wide They Open Their Mouths For A High Note.

One Of My Timesaving Habits Is To Save All Of My Magazines And Junk Mail For Airplane Trips. I Walk On The Plane With A Very Heavy Bundle, But By The Time The Trip Is Over, It Can All Be Thrown Away.

I Don't Want To Record Anything Unless It Can Be Great And Genuinely Interesting.

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.

Among The Important Realizations I Had In My Own Days In The Practice Room Was That If Any One Route To Any One Phrase Didn't Work After Days Of Trying, Then The Exact Opposite Route Should At Least Be Explored, As Well As Every Alternative In Between, As Counterintuitive As That Often Seemed.
