I had classical training but I don't consider myself an opera singer though.

I didn't grow up with classical music. My father was a folk music singer.

I listen mostly to classical music.

In a way, I'm lucky that I was never classically trained and never went to a music college. I'm just from a normal working class family and happened to get obsessed with music as a teenager.

A lot of my training is in classical theatre; I've done a lot of classical plays in New York and also at the Guthrie and here and there across the country.

I don't have a classical-music mentality. I haven't been taught that way, and it doesn't fit my character, either.

I grew up on Bach and Beethoven, and now I'm listening to more modern composers who I can't even name. But since I'm constantly doing music, it's difficult to have that quality time to listen to music and do classical stuff.

I'm very fond of classical music, especially Mozart. I find it relaxes me and helps me concentrate.

I played classical as a kid.
