Because I practice often with my children at home.

To sing a song is like whispering to a child's ear. It is an art heavily relying on improvisation.

I love eating shabu-shabu in Japan - a kind of beef hotpot. But if you're talking about authentic, traditional food, then Italian cooking is one of the best in the world.

In singing, you cannot 'cheat' if you want to give emotions to those who are listening. You must have something to tell.

My style in Italian is very old-style.

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.

I've been to almost every country in the world, and the most frustrating thing for me has been that my schedule has always been so busy that there's so little time before and after performances to explore where I'm visiting.
