I was an acting opera singer, and that's one of the reasons I left opera.

For a while, I couldn't decide whether or not I should pursue singing in the opera or acting. And I'm glad that I chose the latter because I wasn't a very good singer.

Because I was a dancer, I started going to auditions for musical theater, which forced me to sing.

To be a famously successful opera singer. I wanted that since I was eight.

I've always known that I wanted to sing, and I wanted to dance, and I wanted to act.

As a child, I was always making sound; it was a compulsion. I loved to scream and yell and sing; it freed me from all the thoughts in my head. I begged for opera lessons because opera singing is the most formidable, most emotional way to use your voice.

I sang opera, I sang show tunes. I got into a rock band for a while. I've sung a lot of different things.

It was always acting, singing and dancing that I loved.

I know that my passion is for opera, but sometimes I like also to sing songs, because there are many beautiful melodies.

I realized that I didn't want to do anything else. Plus, I realized I was good, and, most importantly, I actually loved to sing on stage.
