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.

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.

The number of people who left for the United states and Canada increased with every year.

Those things that you just do, if you put that together in a DVD program, let's say, for $97, to teach people how to do that. Well, if you sold 100 of those a month, that's $9,700 of income a month just teaching what you already do and know to people who want to learn how to do the same.

There is one universal truth: All women, all over the world, want to look beautiful. That is always the theme of my designs.

I was born in Westchester, NY. I grew up around the Rye Brook area, and then I moved to White Plains with my family.

Weve been so concerned about being cool relevant and fun that we have forgotten to be bread light and life to a hungry dark and dying world.

I became obsessed with all these women who die never feeling they did anything extraordinary with their lives.

There are some sick people in this world.

In my mind, I've always been an A-list Hollywood superstar. Y'all just didn't know yet.

He who would be no slave must consent to have no slave. Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves and, under a just God, cannot long retain it.

When you go to war, it's important for everybody to know that they're going to come home in one way or other.

New highways, ports, and runways appear economically foolish if we don't understand the economic growth that flows from such investments.

The presence of others who see what we see and hear what we hear assures us of the reality of the world and ourselves.

In my 'Big Dinners' cookbook, I recreated my mother's recipe for crab dip. The creamy dressing for this dip, made with mayonnaise, tomato paste, a touch of honey, sliced chives, lemon juice and zest, horseradish and Tabasco, is reminiscent of Thousand Island dressing.

I think the melody is the first time I hear in a song and if I like the melody, then I'll pay closer attention to the lyrics.

I think people think of me as this elegant person because they always see me dressed up.

The essence of a man is found in his faults.

As I see it, whoever's doing the inventing is also doing most of the learning - and probably having most of the fun.
