I don't like confrontation; I just like to sing.

Artists shouldn't deal with business stuff; that's not what we're trained in, and most of us aren't good at it.

We live in a very disposable society, and people want everything right away, but unfortunately, vocal technique doesn't come overnight.

I love the tragic side. I don't do 'happy' onstage. I like the dark, the disturbed.

When I was signing up for the University of Southern California's music program, I flipped a coin to decide my major. If it came up heads, it would be flute - tails would be voice.

After I turn 50, I would like to sing Verdi's 'Attila.'
