I am a person of the 18th century.

I think, first of all, you need to love what you're doing, and then this helps in the comedian for its part in everything-but the moment you enjoy what you're doing, you try to express yourself, to find your way, and every time is different, of course.

So I like to make music, and I like to share music. This is also a gift.

The first time I sang with David Daniels... I had never performed with a countertenor before. That first time was magic, it was so beautiful. And he's such a great artist.

I still love to walk in the mountains or be on the sea. I like to be in nature. Sometimes I bicycle. It's important to feel good with your body. The body is extremely important. If you feel good, you have more energy in your singing.

So you see, movies are really another dimension.

Arizona is gorgeous. The sunshine in Arizona is gorgeous red.

We consider Monteverdi the first composer of opera. There was someone before, but everything started with Monteverdi.

Well, what I tried to do is to just listen to my voice, because my voice is my boss. She decides.

It's nice to have a great female composer in the program and add her color.

The songs of Bizet are by a French peer of Rossini. When Rossini stopped composing, he was living in Paris. He also wrote some beautiful songs in French.

I am a person of the 18th century.

The voice is an instrument that you really must take time to develop. It's like a good red wine Give it time.

When you are accompanied by the instrument - on an instrument like the lute-the lute and voice - you have this sound, and you feel how the music can be so touching and yet so simple.

It's a dream come true, and with this music, with this Rossini, it's unbelievable how to express the joy and express the joy of the situation and the joy to play this music, to sing this music, it's really fantastic.

The voice will guide you-will tell you what to do. In order to do that, you must be quite sensitive with the instrument and accept this daily conversation with your voice.

I did a concert... in September with the Berlin Philharmonic... They're great musicians, and there's always something to learn from them.

I still the love classic period, but also the baroque period, and even 17th-Century music such as the music of Monteverdi. He's one of the greatest opera composers. He was the one who really started the opera.

Music is a way to dream together and go to another dimension.

Well, I don't think a specific role can destroy your voice. What can destroy your voice is when you... make an error. Everybody can make an error. But then you need to realize what is your way.

Actually, I feel music becoming more and more important. It's a big source of inspiration. With what's going on in the world, we feel almost desperate. Music also brings you peace.

When I had my first voice lesson I was 15 years old. And I had a really good teacher. This is what made all the difference. A good teacher will teach you the technique, but also how to listen to your voice.

People realize that Salieri is not the man we saw in the Amadeus movie. That man had no talent. It was a great movie, but the Salieri character was a big fiction.

The media can be a really strong vehicle.

The restaurants close here in Salzburg. They don't really have a nightlife in the winter time.

I went to the Conservatory of Music in school in Rome.

The goal is always to make a nice tableau painting with the voice. The more color I can find, the more shadow I can find - the goal is always to make more nuance and colors.

It's like when you want to make a house... the technique is very important.

I would still love to do more Handel. I think Handel was a fantastic composer. I did lots of Vivaldi, but it's also important to do the music of Handel, one of the greatest composers of the 18th century.

German is more familiar now since I live part of the year in Rome and part in the German part of Switzerland. But it's not difficult to sing in German; it's difficult to feel in German. This takes time. It's a culture.

It's such a joy to work with different ensembles and create a collaboration. Rehearsing and building a performance is very interesting for me.

Our families should gather for family prayer morning and night.

SK will evolve and develop based on its corporate culture and human resources.

See a pin and pick it up, all the day you'll have good luck; see a pin and let it lie, bad luck you'll have all day

If you're in a room and can be seen by actors, you need to understand that you can be felt by them.

If you can wear the hard times of your life as furrows on your brow you can wear the good times as a twinkle in your eye.

Anyone can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a step dad.

Opinions are made to be changed or how is truth to be got at?

A man can do a television interview and roll out of bed 15 minutes before; it's just not the same for a woman. A woman has to pay attention to her hair, makeup, clothing, and jewelry choices.

I live on this nice three acres in Hollywood.

I'm a homebody. If I'm not working I'm with my family being a dad.

I just feel like sometimes people don't want to hear the truth. It's hard when you hear the truth. People want to hear what they want to hear. Sometimes I have a hard time with that because I'm very honest.

I do not fear truth. I welcome it. But I wish all of my facts to be in their proper context.

Scriptures - The sacred books of our holy religion, as distinguished from the false and profane writings on which all other faiths are based.

I love to cook. I'd have a dinner party, and someone would be like, 'Can you do this at my house?' So my catering partner and I - we were both struggling actresses at the time - thought, instead of getting a waitressing job, let's do what we love. We always said if things pick up, our acting careers come first.

I don't care about names attached to the script. That doesn't matter to me. All things being equal, I would like to work with a good script with a good director, and the part I play is of less important than those two factors.

I've always written about adultery because it raises the question of transgression and trouble.

Every modern woman shops everywhere for beauty, but for me it's mostly the airport or the drugstore.

Every film has to be the next something else; originality isn't celebrated because you can't market it.
