I do not think anyone can ever do anything without the help and will of God.

Even in the most beautiful music, there are some silences, which are there so we can witness the importance of silence. Silence is more important than ever, as life today is full of noise. We speak a lot about environmental pollution but not enough about noise pollution.

You can be great only if it is your destiny.

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 like reading... French, Russian classics - Gogol, Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, Flaubert. I also like Hemingway, Virginia Woolf.

What is certain is that singing is not merely modulating a song by means of the voice: we sing and we celebrate the beauty that we can grow and live every day. If you want to sing and give emotions to those who are listening, you must have something to tell through your singing; you have to use singing like an instrument to tell something.

Faith has a role to play in life. It is not related to success. It is the other way round. Success is related to faith. Faith comes first.
