It's true that I suffered a lot, especially when I was younger.

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.

Every audience has its character; I like America - they love me. I suffer from stage fright, but in America not so much.

I'm quite shy, so I hate seeing my private life splashed over the papers.

I change the language with which I use my voice. In opera, I know I have an orchestra behind me; I have to communicate to people very far from me.

I have always tried to perform the music I love, and I think I am lucky because my preferences are often the ones of the public.
