I'm More Confident Now Than

When I Perform Strauss, It Is As If The Music Fits Me Like A Glove. My Voice Seems To Lie In A Happy Area In This Music, Which Is Lyrical And Passionate At The Same Time.

I Knew That I Could Be More Creative Onstage, To State My Own Case And Deliver My Own Interpretation Of The Role Much More Aggressively Than In The Recording Studio.

I Really Believe I've Been A Good Person. Not Perfect - Forget About Perfect - But Just Learning By What I Was Taught And Living By My Own Values. I Might Have Stepped On A Few Ants - And A Few Other Things As Well - But I've Never Hurt Anybody.

When I'm Alone At Home, I Really Prefer To Listen To Wagner's Orchestral Music Rather Than Any Vocal Music. I Find It Illuminating Not To Have To Pay Attention To Voices In The Recordings.
