I learned so many roles so quickly as a young singer, I thought it was time to come back to them and make them better - deeper, more nuanced.

When a human being without amplification makes a sound that is high and loud, it is almost unworldly.

It is always fragile, being a parent.

Contrary to the norm, as my technique improved my voice became higher.

I think touring is hard.

Because everything about the voice interests me, I felt it would be fascinating to learn a completely different style of singing.

My parents were both high-school music teachers.

I'm not exactly an angry young person.

I'm rarely singing in English.

Being steeped in the process of learning and exploring keeps me from becoming too nervous. Partly it's about not getting bored.
