Crazy as it sounds, I'm a believer in destiny and serendipity, and I have had cosmic experiences all my life. Something told me I was meant for greater stuff. And look, I've had a baby! And I've written an opera!

I've always gravitated towards opera, and the Royal Opera House is quite possibly the greatest opera house on earth.

'Prima Donna' is my kind of love song to opera but it's not the full experience.

Life is a game and true love is a trophy.

There's prejudice everywhere. I don't think the music industry is as bad as the movie industry. But I have taken a few hits over the years for my sexuality, and for being honest about my life. In the end, it's the music that rules the roost.

My cheeks explode when I smile. That's why I have to look so nonplussed.
