Although all the good arts serve to draw man's mind away from vices and lead it toward better things, this function can be more fully performed by this art, which also provides extraordinary intellectual pleasure.

Nicolaus Copernicus

Deutsche Übersetzung

Obwohl alle guten Künste dazu dienen, den Verstand der Menschen von den Lastern abzulenken und sie zu besseren Dingen zu führen, kann diese Funktion durch diese Kunst vollständiger erfüllt werden, was auch ein außerordentliches intellektuelles Vergnügen bietet.

It's a holistic process for me during a show. I'm always focusing on the technical aspects of my voice. I try to make my voice do what I want. One big thing I do to improve on each show is to listen back to performances on CD while on tour.

Studios have been trying to get rid of the actor for a long time and now they can do it. They got animation. NO more actor, although for now they still have to borrow a voice or two. Anyway, I find it abhorrent.

For those of us with an inward turn of mind, which is another name for melancholy introspection, the beginning of a new year inevitably leads to thoughts about both the future and the past.
