The public is a part of my real life.

On the other hand, I have devoted so much energy to reach the top that I accept the stress of being there.

Sometimes pianists try to sound like singers: me personally, I try to sound like a Bösendorfer.

It is strange, but nobody is shocked when pop singers make a fortune in the space of two years.

But enough joking. I am singing. This is all my life.

When I was a young man, I was a baritone, very far from possessing the whole range of the tenor then.

But I won't deprive myself of singing opera as long as my voice follows.
