Stage fright is my worst problem.

I did a pop album, 'Sogno,' in 1999. I think it's important to record another pop album because many people love pop music. By this kind of repertoire, some people can later discover classical music.

I was a daredevil before, and after I lost my sight I was the same. I loved riding bikes, scooters and horses. I even learned to box. Muhammad Ali is my hero.

Fatherhood is a very natural thing; it's not something that shakes up my life but rather it enriches it.

When I sing, I think mostly about the music. But I know that, through singing, my body shows everything that I am. I am a very passionate man and I suffer a lot and have a lot of joy also. In my opinion, it is very important for me to find this stimulus and motivation for singing.

I know that my passion is for opera, but sometimes I like also to sing songs, because there are many beautiful melodies.

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