I don't push my voice; I try to keep a good technique, a natural way of singing, to sing from the breath, which is the main thing.

The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing.

When I'm doing sports, I always think of how it's related to singing, and when I watch tennis, I learn a lot for my singing: how the players are focused, how they use their technique, and, in the case of Roger Federer, how effortless it is and how beautiful it is to watch - like bel canto, in a way. That's how singing should be.

However one reaches the parks, the main thing is to slow down and absorb the natural wonders at leisure.

I'm lucky because my repertoire is so specific, and theaters are interested in me singing my repertoire because it is not done so much. I'm pretty well settled in my repertoire. I like what I sing. My voice is high, and there is not much in baroque opera for higher tenor.

I'm still blowing alright, and I still enjoy it which is the main thing.
