I like very much to ride horses. I like soccer, I have had a passion for boxing since I was a child, although it would be stupid for me to box.

I've always been on the side of science that tries to help man. I play an active part with the foundations I'm involved in. Science gives hope.

I never think about gifts. It's enough to have my family present.

It's true that I suffered a lot, especially when I was younger.

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.

Some of us are born with a weakness for music. As a baby, music would stop whatever thought I was having. If I was worried, it would stop me worrying; if I was crying, it would stop me crying. Music was a healing thing for me.
