It sounds kind of stupid, but I've never not wanted to be a musician. It's been inside me since I was little so I don't know what else I would do.

And my music is always such a release of what I feel inside, an impulse.

I don't know why people think I'm a Goth - that's a misconception.

I don't find much influence in opera. It was such a different part of me.

The only reason I would write a break-up song is because my own problem of allowing myself to relate to people.

True expression is hard when performing opera. The problem is that opera relies on the dramatic context of the piece. It can be interpreted and represented, but there are guidelines; there is a vocabulary within the pieces that you must know objectively and reflect.
