Opera Is For A Lifetime,

My Children Are My Children. There's No Doubt About That At All. They're Very Strong Towards Me, Very Protective, And I Towards Them. It Works Both Ways.

My Energy Is Undiminished. Someone Said To Me The Other Day, 'are You Retired?' And I Said, 'well, I'm Just Trying To Prove That I'm Not.' There's So Many Things To Do.

I'm Completely In Charge Of My Own Life Now. Sometimes There's No One There To Slap Me On The Hand And Say: 'stop Being So Bullish And Bossy,' And Things Like That.

Opera Is For A Lifetime, Not Just A Minute.

I Felt That The Studio Recording Process Makes You Stand Still Too Long.
