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

The voice changes very slowly. I keep mine well under control and try with all my might to keep it exactly as it was at the very beginning.

All that counts in life is intention.

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.

While they are kids, my children must do as I say.

My real passion is for opera. It was born and developed by listening to records, and my dream as a child was to record entire operas when I grew up, and this dream came true.

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.
