Singing is a form of admitting that I'm alive.

You have to make a choice when you start to sing and decide whether you want to service the music, and be at the top of your art, or if you want to be a very popular tenor.

I want to be known by people who are knowledgeable about opera, who appreciate bel canto singing, people who have more sensitivity.

I don't have the will for singing but I must do it.
