I think I don't want to use drugs or medicine, so nothing. The only way is to go on stage and to hope.

I don't like crying. I'm a country boy, and we're the product of our upbringing. As a boy, I was told that men don't cry.

I began when I was a child, because I was born and grew up in a little village. And many people ride the horses. So, it was a big - it has been a big passion for me.

I started as a lyrical singer. But it was through the pop universe that I reached international fame.

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.

I have a European frame of mind and Europe is my home.

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.
