Quotes by Bryn Terfel

• I think every singer should be able to jump in for a singer who has been sick, for instance, and learn an opera in two days. I know people who can do it.
• If you have a recital to do, you have to memorize the songs. I never use music when I do recitals. It produces an instant barrier, both for yourself and the audience.
• People think top singers are overpaid, but opera houses have a top fee, which is a good thing. Of course concerts are different- everyone wants to make as much money as possible.
• I enjoy all aspects of singing and I'm luckily given the choice to be part of different styles of music.
• I work on my voice through what I have to sing.
