I Was Always A Very Good Student.

I Learned So Many Roles So Quickly As A Young Singer, I Thought It Was Time To Come Back To Them And Make Them Better - Deeper, More Nuanced.

We Sing With The Entire Body. The Sounds That We Make Emanate Not Just From The Head, But From The Whole Heart And Soul, And, Most Important, The Gut.

I'm Not A Reactionary.

Your Brain Has A Music Room, And Evolution Would Not Have Gone To The Trouble Of Designing That If It Didn't Have Some Benefits. So, That Suggests To Me That We And Our Ancestors Have Had Music As A Central Part Of Our Experience For Eons. And We're Just Beginning To Understand How That Might Be. I Think That's Fascinating.

For My Own Singing, I Used To Be Attracted By The Baroque, The Flashier The Better, But Now I Prefer A Simpler, Purer Style.
