I am honored I have performed 'Quizas Quizas Quizas' with Jennifer Lopez, an eclectic artist who thanks to the charismatic power of her voice and to her soft sensuality, has managed to make this song particularly convincing.

I have trouble with modern art. But in general, all art forms fascinate me - art is the way human beings express what we can't say in words.

I was an agnostic until I realized that I had to choose between God and fate. The idea that humanity and nature are the result of fate was not convincing at all. I find the presence of God everywhere.

I've always known that I was born to sing, ever since I was a child.

I am a product of my native land, Tuscany, Italy.

In my iPod, there are many operas, from A to Z. I have 'Aida' and 'Boheme' and 'Butterfly' and 'Cavalleria'. My passion is for opera, but when I'm in the car, I listen to everything.

I don't like crying. I'm a country boy, and we're the product of our upbringing. As a boy, I was told that men don't cry.
