There's no performance where I never have to think about setting up a phrase or making a technical adjustment while I'm performing.

I think singing is one of the most natural things that human beings do, but it's difficult.

I think opera has gained a kind of glamorous appeal. It's a live performance that aligns all of the arts, and when it is represented in the media, in film in particular, it is presented as something that is really a special event, whether it's a great date or something that's just hugely romantic.

I think singing it when its done well is extremely natural. It feels great.
