When the mood takes me, I like to be a man of action. I like to windsurf and ski, and most of all I love to ride horses. The wilder and faster the better!

To sing a song is like whispering to a child's ear. It is an art heavily relying on improvisation.

The voice changes very slowly. I keep mine well under control and try with all my might to keep it exactly as it was at the very beginning.

I have to face life with a newly found passion. I must rediscover the irresistible will to learn, to live and to love.

I always knew I would sing. I just didn't know if I would be successful or not. But I sang at school, I sang at parties, I sang at church. Everyone always asked me to sing. I'd be playing football with my friends and my parents would ask me to sing for their guests. I was never very happy about that because I wanted to play football.

If you don't have the possibility of listening to music, you can't know if you love it.

I've been to almost every country in the world, and the most frustrating thing for me has been that my schedule has always been so busy that there's so little time before and after performances to explore where I'm visiting.
