21 Quotes by Kristine Opolais

Puccini is my favorite composer.

Maybe I will end up in the movies.

When I go onstage, every situation I have to play, I feel pain. When I sing 'Madama Butterfly' I feel completely everything she felt: It's horrible.

That's why I'm never happy. Every tragedy, I really feel very painful - especially about a child or old people. This is reality. We try to close eyes and ears, but it's happening every second, and somehow, unfortunately, I feel a connection.

I never wanted to be an opera singer. I wanted to be an actress, maybe a rock singer.

My voice is not angel voice.

Sometimes directors come to me when I have to play some horrible thing, scary or hysterical or crying; they ask, 'Did you study somewhere to be an actress?' No, this is life. That's why I think I don't want to say you need a really bad experience to be a good artist, but bad experiences in your life say something.

As a person who wants to see and believe in the story, I don't think women at age 50 are able to sing young girls.

Nobody is pushing me. Nobody is telling me what I do.
