Nothing that has happened has made me feel gloomy or remain depressed. I love my life.

I am a very simple person. In spite of all that has happened to me, I have tried to remain the simple person I started out.

I remember quite well that 10,000 audience sang with us three on the spot, and ever since then, I always thought the Chinese audience are the greatest audience.

I think a life in music is a life beautifully spent, and this is what I have devoted my life to.

I've been buying the same lambrusco from Correggio [a town between Reggio-Emilia and Modena] since 1965.

I am a tenor buff. I hear myself.

The music itself could never take the place of my own passion in life.
