Nobody Inspired Me More Than Julie Andrews,

I Do A Lot Of Vocal Hygiene.

As Far As I Was Concerned The Important Thing Was That The Music Was Getting The Attention As Well As Me So It Was Always A Great Way To Get More Of The Public To Connect With Classical Music, And Opera Particularly.

It Worries Me That Young Singers Think You Can Shortcut The Training And Go Straight To Fame And Fortune, And Programmes Like Pop Idol Have Encouraged That.

Opera Is Credible Drama Now, And It Costs Less Than Going To A Football Match. What Have You Got To Lose?

I Would Just Like To Say That Opera Is No Longer About Fat People In Breastplates Shattering Wine Glasses.
