It's important for me who is at the table with me; the moment when everyone speaks to each other and everyone listens. If there's good food, it's much better.

Naturally, women are drawn to a man who understands the subtlety of emotions, and they know I'm a passionate man. But the reason I try to keep myself in shape is so I can sing better, not to look good.

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.

The themes I sing about tend to be centered on love, but in the most total, general way 360 degrees of love.

All that counts in life is intention.

You can be great only if it is your destiny.

Very often, I recognize many, many defects, so I try to improve myself every day. I think my voice is very communicative.
