All that counts in life is intention.

I was an agnostic until I realized that I had to choose between God and fate. The idea that humanity and nature are the result of fate was not convincing at all. I find the presence of God everywhere.

I am a very lazy man, so, for me, the dream is to be at home on the chair with my family.

You can be great only if it is your destiny.

To sing opera, one needs two things: the voice and the passion - and above all, the passion.

When I was very young, I started trying to sing like the great tenor Mario Lanza; my family used to play his records. We all learn best by imitating others.

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