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.

I am a product of my native land, Tuscany, Italy.

Classical music and pop are two different universes, each with its own difficulties, peculiarities, depth and artistic dignity. In Italy, I think there is a fairly clear line of demarcation, but the history of music is full of fusion. Popular and classical music have always found points of contact, of crossing, exchange, both drawing mutual profit.

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.

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

Because, in opera, I have to sing for people that are very far from me, instead of, when I sing a song, I try to imagine to sing like in an ear of a child.

Because I practice often with my children at home.
