“My career was mostly motivated by fear.” - Susan Graham

[@CHRISTOVERCOMES]

;7:34 GOLD LOL "rattlesnake what?" hahaha I loved that part 😂 also she's so inspiring to take risks in life to complete big, seemingly impossible goals despite how scared you are of messing up; I dealt with a lot of that and held myself back from so much like sports and instruments or singing so Imma go all out now at 27 yrs of age :D

[@briananderson8428]

"Singing and crying are very, very related." WoW. So true. She's a magnificent communicator.

[@karenbryan132]

I enjoyed this very much, but there's a little feeling of the bittersweet--hearing her talk about the 2008 economic disaster and its effects on the arts. This was three and a half years ago, and none of us could foresee what our current situation would do to theatre, music, and so much else. Bad as 2008 was, I can't help thinking what we're dealing with now is orders of magnitude worse.

I love that they kept that "outtake" from the beginning. Speaks volumes. I love it.

Thanks for watching, Colin English!

[@josephhapp9]

Thank you Peter and all the crew, joy and honesty of Susan Graham.

[@willdon.1279]

I've seen several of these - and to date, I continue to be filled with admiration for these wonderful people; time and time again I think how lucky we are to have them sharing their insights, as well as their artistic talents with us. Thank you, Zsolt and Peter.

[@lotusbuds2000]

Zsolt is simly an amazing human being let alone a phenomenal artist and interviewer!

[@smurf902]

Down to earth and immensely gifted. One really doesn't know the hours and hours alone in a practice room and with an accompanist just learning and memorizing dozens of roles, how arduous a task this is. And then bringing that same music in your head to different conductors with different tempi and different directors with completely different costumes and sets and blocking. It's one of the hardest jobs in show biz. And the traveling. Endless.

[@aldousprovus]

So lovely to hear her points of view, and her honesty, expression. Lovely, lovely...so smart ando cute

[@rabomdi5676]

The timing of the questions and the questions itself where perfect. Susan said some wonderful and inspiring lines. Thank you for sharing ;)

“Chocolate, Mozart, and comedy...I want to do that.” ❤️

[@garssympa500]

Great interview! Loved her in Iphigénie en Tauride.

[@allenjones3130]

I liked it when Susan quoted the TWILIGHT ZONE theme.

[@SteveL2012]

Opera is not an upclose sport. Love her. ❤️

[@wishingonthemoon1]

I love her so much 🤩

[@unclealand]

Every word she uttered here is sane, human, and probably sounds alien to the “American Idol” or “Share If You . . .” set.

[@olgarogach8868]

It definitely sounds alien to the AGT judges, who think that those 12-13 yo girls , yelling Nessun dorma in the mic, sing opera. And comments from judge like this : “ I never liked opera before, now I do.” Hahaha.

[@glennwilliams8861]

I like everything about you and Texas Tech to (or is it too).

[@Laurelwoodstudios]

"Round up." LOL!!! Yes, Texas accent!

[@Ursaminor31]

We live in a world where money rules our artistic abilities, it will be wonderful when That ends

[@wbiro]

Interesting - dusty cowgirl to opera singer...
