I began when I was a child, because I was born and grew up in a little village. And many people ride the horses. So, it was a big - it has been a big passion for me.

A career is like a house: it's made of many bricks, and each brick has the same value, because without any one of them, the house would collapse.

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

I live for my children, so my number one rule is I won't go away from home for more than two weeks.

My idol has been Franco Corelli. But every singer can teach you something.

I listen to music every day for study reasons, and I confess that I have very little knowledge of what is going on in the hit parades around the world. I have no prejudices for any kind of music genre, and I listen with pleasure to many songs on the radio that my children already know of by heart, while I hear them practically for the first time.

It is not Christian to go against someone. I am in favour of life.
