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.

Some years ago I gave a concert in the mountains with snow all around, and that was much colder.

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.

My style in Italian is very old-style.

If you have a great love of singing, supported by others' fondness for your voice, then it is worth making every effort, of making every sacrifice, to achieve your goal. A great voice will easily find teachers who are willing to help a struggling young talent, and the ways of the Lord are infinite.

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.

The voice is something very mysterious. It's difficult to say what is inside a voice that moves people.
