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

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.

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.

Criticism in good faith is good. When it's targeted solely to destruction, I'm not interested.

I don't like being called 'macho.' Macho basically means stupid and a real Italian man is not macho, he's smart. That's smart in both senses: elegant and clever.

The feeling of an evolution is a constant for every artist who is pursuing the search of refinement and enlargement of his/her own means of expression.

Listen to what others tell you about your voice. If you're only singing to please yourself, you might as well just sing under the shower. But if you're singing for others, you are reliant on them to ask you to sing.
