“Sometimes, going to see one opera is hard because you don't know the genre. Good opera is like good wine. There are so many varieties, and it helps to inform you about what you like when you see a lot.”

“As many times as I have done 'Marriage of Figaro,' I have never been able to ask Mozart what he intended in this piece.”

“New music is absolutely integral to classical music.”

“I really enjoy working in genre series, because you really have to create the characters.”

“It's not my goal to make so many movies. It's just sort of a natural process, and I'm just doing my job. And I'm not tied to any genre; I'm willing to do anything. I just keep going.”

“What I truly get excited about is not the genre of a movie or the size of a part - it's character. I like to find characters.”
