The way I look it is hard to look like a normal person. You know, in the streets when I was a kid, people always said I looked strange, and it made me feel unhappy.

It was just as shocking for me to sing opera in a falsetto soprano in Germany.

A man without makeup is like a cake without icing.

I think it is nice to be a little magical. Today we need this. All that we can read in fairy tales or in books. I think somewhere it is all around us. But nowadays we can think that this magic has been killed and I am try to make it survive as long as possible.

Every time I bought a Rock and Roll record, I bought a classical record at the same time. I like each as well as the other.

My music is L-O-V-E because it's a gift, and you only give something when you feel it deeply.

The way I look is part of it. It sounds affected but I do see myself as a piece of living art.
