Opera is a way of living life to the fullest, a way of expressing emotions that cannot be expressed in any other way.

I think it's important to have a sense of humor about yourself and not take yourself too seriously.

你无法改变生命的长度，但你可以改变它的宽度和深度。

我尝试从每种情况中学习，无论是积极的还是消极的。

You’ve got to have models in your head. And you’ve got to array your experience—both vicarious and direct—on this latticework of models. You may have noticed students who just try to remember and pound back what is remembered. Well, they fail in school and in life. You’ve got to hang experience on a latticework of models in your mind.

I'm living the life I dreamed about.
