Very often, I recognize many, many defects, so I try to improve myself every day. I think my voice is very communicative.

My style in Italian is very old-style.

I also always carry my flute. It's very important for me to try to relax when I'm travelling, and playing my flute helps me to unwind.

A voice is very intimate. It's something of your own. So there's always this fear, because you feel naked. There's a fear of not reaching up to expectations. As you become more famous, people come and expect to hear something extraordinary, so you don't want to disappoint them. I feel this sense of responsibility.

Singing provides a true sense of lightheartedness. If I sing when I am alone, I feel wonderful. It's freedom.

A positive frame of mind will definitely enhance your travelling experience. If I'm not in a positive frame of mind then the whole thing definitely becomes more of a challenge for me.

Living is dangerous. The important thing is to know the limits.
