If you don't have the possibility of listening to music, you can't know if you love it.

Every audience has its character; I like America - they love me. I suffer from stage fright, but in America not so much.

The nature of music is mysterious and so much so that it generates strong emotions within us. It moves along passages that reach the most intimate areas of our psyche without being tried by prejudices or influences of any kind.

In essence, I set myself the objective of doing what I feel is right without having any ambition.

When I hear that young people have come to the theater for the first time to listen to opera, I'm very happy. Because it's the same thing that happened to me as a child. When I first heard the tenor voice, I immediately fell in love with this kind of music.

I live for my children, so my number one rule is I won't go away from home for more than two weeks.

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.
