Some of the music I listen to is pop. I sing it in the shower - and then for public consumption.

I sing what I sing. And that's recitals and orchestra concerts. To appease - no, that's not the right word - let's say to satisfy - any opera urgings that my public has, I'll put in an aria.

Wynton and Christopher were really great experiences for me because they are both very gifted artists.

New York is a great place to be fed in the arts. The arts in general are a large part of my life. The city was my postgraduate course.

National parks are cathedrals of spirituality and emotion, and unfortunately, they are being loved to death by many of the same people who enjoy them the most.

I was raised in the church, and there's still a fire burning inside me. I definitely don't ever want to be preachy. But less and less young people are religious. The thing is, I see so many positive things about religion, so I'm happy to talk about it.

I believe that God created the Earth. I wasn't there, I don't know how long it took. I don't know how he did it exactly.

May we have communion with God in the secret of our hearts, and find Him to be to us as a little sanctuary.
