Originally I considered myself a singer.

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

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

I had this exceptional classical music voice. If I'd followed a true path for my talent, I would have ended up being an opera singer.

I don't think I was considered to be a cabaret singer because I didn't have patter that was written.

I actually started out on the stage as a singer.

I had wanted to be a dancer when I was younger. But at some point I figured out I was a better singer.

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

My parents were opera singers and voice teachers, so growing up, I admired musicians and dancers.
