It's so important to me to take care of my voice. I do a lot of vocal warms-ups right before I go on.

I don't really strain my voice.

I don't take care of my voice at all, which is one reason that I sound as bad as I do.

I've been singing properly every day since I was about fifteen or sixteen, and I have never had any problems with my voice, ever. I've had a sore throat here and there, had a cold and sung through it, but that day it just went while I was onstage in Paris during a radio show. It was literally like someone had pulled a curtain over it.

I'm terrified of losing my voice.

I only hear my own voice. When you start hearing other voices, then it's time to worry.

Just the way my voice sounds now, it's always had this little hoarse thing to it. And I'd have to do vocal exercises to make my voice clear.
