When you sing and people want that you sing, then you can hope to be great.

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.

Stage fright is my worst problem.

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

My life experience has taught me nothing happens by chance. Even the idea of the ball in a roulette game: it's not chance it ends up in a certain place. It's forces that are at play.

I know that my passion is for opera, but sometimes I like also to sing songs, because there are many beautiful melodies.

I want to have time for myself, my family and my friends. It's important because in order to sing well, you must have inspiration, and inspiration comes from life, from living.
