I am not only fighting against something, I am fighting for something - and I am for life.

Losing my sight had nothing to do with my focus on music. My passion for music was already there, so it would be a mistake to give too much significance to my blindness.

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

When I began singing, it was the first time I was happy in my life. As a baby, I would stop crying when I heard a great singer.

When I sing, I think mostly about the music. But I know that, through singing, my body shows everything that I am. I am a very passionate man and I suffer a lot and have a lot of joy also. In my opinion, it is very important for me to find this stimulus and motivation for singing.

I know that my passion is for opera, but sometimes I like also to sing songs, because there are many beautiful melodies.

For me, the most enjoyable type of singing is opera. It allows you to move, to wear a costume ... to do something with your body. When singing in concert you have to stand up in front of the audience, next to the conductor, which is less natural.
