I came to music very late, at thirty-four. And I didn't have a musical education and I still don't, so it's very difficult for me when I'm doing these new things. I mean, I'm doing sort of atonal music, and rhythmically ambiguous music, and it takes a lot of work on my part and my coaches' part to get this into my body and into my brain. I really sometimes wish I could just sing 'Carmen' and 'Butterfly' and 'Boheme' and 'Tosca' because it would be so much easier to know and sing fourteen things and just repeat them all the time.
