When you arrive at a certain level it's very easy to say yes: that is the moment to learn to say no.

Music isn't only a profession.

Everybody, even me, sometimes had to compromise on something, doing things we know to be wrong, and this happens doing whatever job in the world. But a singer must have the courage of saying no.

I've always been a big fan of the American soul sound.

I can't see why we can't toss in a Junior Walker or Wilson Pickett number in every once in a while.

In the last 20, 22 years I have sung here very often and I have always felt the affection and warmth of the Italians, and I feel very close to you.

I am always living very good moments.
