I am a very lazy man, so, for me, the dream is to be at home on the chair with my family.

I change the language with which I use my voice. In opera, I know I have an orchestra behind me; I have to communicate to people very far from me.

Let me say that I've never thought to conduct because the conductor has to think to the music before the orchestra. And the orchestra comes later. For me, it's terrible.

I also always carry my flute. It's very important for me to try to relax when I'm travelling, and playing my flute helps me to unwind.

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

Music is an art that goes well beyond science. Proof can be found in the huge amount of studies that have been carried out throughout the world based on music-therapy and the important results achieved.

Destiny has a lot to do with it, but so do you. You have to persevere, you have to insist.
