More people are listening to opera, and I'm happy - everybody must be given that opportunity.

Often, I went in love with some friends in school. And, no, I suffered. Only later, things went better.

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

It's always beautiful to sing with other great voices. I like voices in general. It's a big privilege to have great singers next to me.

When I was very young, I started trying to sing like the great tenor Mario Lanza; my family used to play his records. We all learn best by imitating others.

Faith has a role to play in life. It is not related to success. It is the other way round. Success is related to faith. Faith comes first.
