The great thing about being ignored is that you can speak the truth with impunity.
As americans I think it's harder for us to have a relationship with opera because the access to it is so limited.
You always want to see people who are just like a little outside of the box. Maybe making mistakes sometimes. Not taking something that's straight off the runway, but mixing and matching things. Old and new.
I like that there's very little mystery in how the artwork is actually made. It's the labor and the focus and the precision that drives it to the next level.
I have very simple tastes really. I like to ride my bicycle and I like to spend time upstate where it's quiet and I can take time to think and dream about new projects and possibilities.

We weren't like mates who decided to form a band. The other three met me because they were interested in being in the band that I was starting.
I think I drift toward sad love songs.
Kids on the Youtube, learning how to be cool.
