It's always beautiful to sing with other great voices. I like voices in general. It's a big privilege to have great singers next to me.

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.

When I sing for myself, I sing in a more free, athletic way. When I face an audience, there is always some fear that makes me put the brakes on a bit.

You have to have great passion, because to sing operatic music requires lots of work. I study for at least two hours every day. The voice is like an instrument and requires constant exercise.

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

Now I'm more sure and I feel myself more comfortable singing.

I have always loved music and singing, and I am open to listen to any type of music. Regardless of my mood, my heart is always set racing when I listen to opera. When I decide which music I want to hear, my choice is almost invariably an opera recording.
