Julie Andrews is so iconic, and I grew up watching 'The Sound of Music' - it's every girl's dream to play Maria, in a way, I think. That music!

I have to say that getting to tackle Maria in 'The Sound of Music' at Carnegie Hall was surreal. When I heard my voice, it was all I could do to keep myself from doing a British accent and sound like Julie Andrews!

I love to sing, and I warm up to Maria Callas.

Making music all the time was my dream.

I was always that girl who loved music and thought of music as an escape route.

I would like to be Maria, but there is La Callas who demands that I carry myself with her dignity.

I think of someone like Mariah Carey as a singer.

I used to play the piano when I was younger, and I loved Alicia Keys. I wanted to be Alicia Keys; she was such an idol to me.

As Juan Gabriel, music is my religion, and mariachi is my devotion. And my songs are my prayers.

I've dreamed about doing music since I was three or four years old.
