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.

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

Now I'm more sure and I feel myself more comfortable singing.

When I began singing, it was the first time I was happy in my life. As a baby, I would stop crying when I heard a great singer.

Because, in opera, I have to sing for people that are very far from me, instead of, when I sing a song, I try to imagine to sing like in an ear of a child.

I studied law, and I was ready to be a lawyer in my country (Italy). Probably it is better for many clients that I changed my direction! But I was happy to study and I was a good student, I finished my studies. And everything that you learn is useful in life.

It is the uninvolved parent who has to resort to strictness.
