because i can see that people who are religious and i can see it in you have a strength it gives you direction so i actually envy you that but when i say to you i don't believe in god what would you say to me how would you start a conversation with me because it's a combination of that's where. we start by asking if you believe in god and if you said no would probably ask something else and well let's try that. and moment ok just a minute ok. so how so do you believe in god no i'm ok why not how did you come to this decision i don't know. the amount of guns allowed just look at all the suffering in the world. everything that's happening everything that could happen all this crap is going on and will continue when i'm dead i mean when you look at all that suffering in the world you think if there is a god and if he's almighty he would do something about it too when they visit us

but we know that god is our father and the teacher really loves us he loves everyone on earth he's our father yes but like our parents he can't do everything for us and this house was for him. when he can't always help and so when there's a war or hurrican we can just say hey god why are you doing this so. we can only say ok things are difficult but i believe in god so what can i learn how can i be better how can i grow how do i deal with these difficulties as someone who believes in part. of the ok well let me put it this way i'm glad for you that you have your faith i really have the faith helps you in your life. and i think if you use it properly and don't judge others who have a different way of life but use your faith to help people then it's

a good thing. the sweetest. then when you consider prayer like would you crane to speak with god and ask whether you have a child. thank you and that's good for you want to pray to ask this question. ok. let's do it let's go. once a week the missionaries have what's called a preparation day and they can also go shopping so while they're looking at shoes i go about keeping my promise. and i didn't get an answer from god so i didn't get to ask whether i'm a child of god.

i think if you really want to believe in god. which i don't. but if you really really want to believe and you think someone is actually there listening then for you they are. at least i tried. oh boy you don't have to be french. silly thank you so much a lot of thinking. my god my god. oh my god.

so. it revolted. to me. i think you own us as a one off his voice has a power and a beauty combined and he's so musical and speaks all these languages and he's like he has it all the thing about illness kaufman is that he's a phenomenally intelligent guy he thinks about everything i mean of course he's a good looking very handsome ten are very often if they're fed aki or not so good looking and he has or is it illness has gone through a rough patch i mean there's not been well so there's a lot of expectation and we're all rooting for him you know where he fits in the

pantheon of the great tennis certainly he's one for the ages no question. you know sconce is arguably the greatest singer of his generation. at the royal opera house cotton garden he's been tackling one of the most taxing roles in italian opera there. in the final hour before going on stage there was a little piece in his dressing room one thing for fact check no no to a few years to transfer privacy yet it just surprises you it comes right it's

a comes right up to give it a. carrot gotta find a way to make that work there. you are. there do. you. want to work for. free just try not to break into all this power. this state so that is certainly not that easy to me. at least for a score for you nor the most incredible off the wall. otello is seen as the everest a role that requires a certain amount of self torture and of course physically that can cramp you up. it is not so fun to play once you know how to deal with it vocally and how to somehow control your emotions then it's it's it's fantastic well i found yes i did oh. yes and this is. not.

exactly. half men. talking to people with this issue that's wonderful. oh. yeah. four minutes before the opera is due to start. off the stage nothing can be left to chop. yes was up his arrival as the victorious general will be precisely four minutes into the opera with his song of triumph a soul totty rejoice but the performance can't begin until he's in position in the wings only then can shakespeare's manipulator jago launch the evening's drama with the two multiple storm at sea. back stage one minute twenty seconds off to the start the dull from the wings flew

open and in full costume sprinted away from the stage all the way back to his dressing he'd forgotten his sword as it i'm i'll be back in a sec and they were on the shock i mean everyone to dress or. the makeup lady. the stage hands of the stage manager states just that thought i had never done a makeup. i mean how could i know double probe well enough to know that i'm if i really run up and i run down i'm gonna make it and time. maybe if it doesn't sweat on the forehead no one noticed that well you come from battlefield obviously you can be out of breath why not. earth. her

her. was . was. the missed the dressing room i went back upstairs or forgot so i just pushed up there to tell him directly on stage stop how many seconds that you have before that

starts again i don't know i mean i didn't have to stop at all i just could easily go in and. start. the. house and there's not a man to lose is not unlike some other. because he has this this habit to just call. not stopping from just the room and just go straight on stage because it stresses them out to be in the way things and waiting to go that's actually not my problem but it laziness a business. that was stupid so why do you go without it no i cannot go on without a soul diamond as a toddler without a sold. few in his home city of munich would accuse you of being lazy across eighteen months he recently chalked up thirteen different operas around the world as well as dozens of concerts and song recitals he stopped by fountains wherever he goes he knows all about the mines hit them because he is one

himself my name is carl funk ever since he was a boy he's back to his home team and by a new name that's perfect on this occasion he reckoned their opponents hamburg asthe were in for a roasting over the oh. oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh. and he was proud to show off the byron stadium for example about is it a place most singers would run a mile from if you come and you think i have to save some ways because i have to approve such a war or whatever you can't i mean you simply can't i mean it's i mean everybody who is into football knows that this board i mean you you cannot stand still you can't just silently watch a game. compared with a seventy five thousand fans in the stadium the royal albert hall in london those a mere five and

a half thousand but on television and radio millions more across the world waiting for your own star turn of the last night of the proms the first time a german singer had been booked for rule britannia yet of course i know the melody of course everybody knows that we've been talking about i had no clue about the text honestly. all the other nations on earth you know they should fall to the high road but it's quite a. strong well i mean some of the years ago. he was very particular about the drive to the whole to be sure he arrived after the audience was safely inside he always has fan mail waiting for him in his dressing room but this time rupert ten year veteran had left him a present to set the tone for the family get out of here thirty. first. yeah well next time the previous year when i had been the last of the promise my

wife would give me a pair of union jack boxer shorts to give me inspiration for the evening and so i thought it might be a nice idea to continue this tradition i realized this may not be the only underwear you received from. strangest this evening excuse me. you know this see the five minutes or minutes. thank you. so much shoes oh yeah oh. oh. yes even. right.

oh. yeah. oh right so her wrists i. thought. it's amazing to have all these people standing just like next to you have to the stage it's fantastic it's intimate not at all there's a barrier. so they can't lie but. you know it's not if if an audience would be intimidating i think you shouldn't be a performer you on folds only in front of the building so it's very boring to sit.
