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.

Audiences can be very judgmental.

Libertarian socialism is properly to be regarded as the inheritor of the liberal ideals of the enlightenment.

Who makes us ignorant? We ourselves. We put our hands over our eyes and weep that it is dark.

Nolan has the strangest affect on people. You know, I think there's something very sad and little boy about him, but at the same time the way he goes about everything is so awkward and obnoxious. He can never say the right thing, you know? And I think if he just didn't try so hard and calmed down, people might actually like him a bit more!

I've always been a proponent of the idea that technology doesn't matter to game design. The example I always like to point out is 'Tetris,' one of the greatest games ever made.

The 1930s had been a time of tremendous economic distress. And the unemployment rate was enormously high by any historic standard.

The future depends entirely on what each of us does every day; a movement is only people moving.

Well, I'm certainly glad that I was nominated for an Oscar. There is certainly a respect that comes with that nod. Also, a compliment that comes with it, too. Not that I really know what I'm doing. In a lot of ways I feel like some child on set, or like a kid that snuck in the back door.

It makes me cross when I hear people say, 'It's so last season.' I always say, 'It's vintage.'

My mother relied on her memory to do things because she couldn't read. Part of that was not really knowing numbers.

Art is difficult.

We don't live with the community of yesteryear. And we don't enjoy the public services Europeans do. So we turn to the market. Once we do, we find that service providers raise the standards of personal life, so that we come to feel we need them to live our 'best' personal lives.
