The voice changes very slowly. I keep mine well under control and try with all my might to keep it exactly as it was at the very beginning.

I studied law, and I was ready to be a lawyer in my country (Italy). Probably it is better for many clients that I changed my direction! But I was happy to study and I was a good student, I finished my studies. And everything that you learn is useful in life.

When you sing opera you are very far from the people, you are onstage, and between you and the people there is the orchestra. So you have to launch your emotions very, very far. When you sing pop, you are singing very close - the microphone is very close to your mouth. You can whisper your emotions into the microphone.

My life experience has taught me nothing happens by chance. Even the idea of the ball in a roulette game: it's not chance it ends up in a certain place. It's forces that are at play.

The world is full of many beautiful voices; I will perform with many of them. I love women's voices.

Singing provides a true sense of lightheartedness. If I sing when I am alone, I feel wonderful. It's freedom.

In singing, you cannot 'cheat' if you want to give emotions to those who are listening. You must have something to tell.
