I belong to the givers. I want to give a little happiness even if I haven’t had much for myself. Music has enriched my life and, hopefully - through me, a little - the public’s. If anyone left an opera house feeling more happy and at peace, I achieved my purpose.

What [Tulio Serafin] said that impressed me was: "When one wants to find a gesture, when you want to find how to act on stage, all you have to do is listen to the music. The composer has already seen to that. " If you take the trouble to really listen with your soul and with your ears - and I say soul and ears because the mind must work, but not too much also - you will find every gesture there. And it is all true, you know.

I've noticed that a lot of people do much better when all their resolutions are framed as 'Yes. ' Not something like, "I'm going to give up French Fries," but something like "I'm going to eat three vegetables every day. " "I'm going to hug more, kiss more, touch more. " "I'm going to listen to more music. " They do better when they frame things in the positive. And I think this is just part of human nature.

I want to get married but I look at husbands the same way I look at tattoos. I want one, but I can't decide what I want, and I don't want to be stuck with something I'd grow to hate and have surgically removed.
