‘Many months of singing classes were necessary. Months of learning to sing and then Italian classes and then voice and doing all these things like her. Try to be precise,’ he explained.
‘I would recommend that almost every human being take an opera class. To exist and never have sung with your whole body as loud as you could sing…’
Jolie continued, “It’s something I think we should all feel.” It’s scary and we’re rarely asked for it. We are rarely asked in life to be all that we can be or to feel all that we feel.’
