Every three days on average, I am alone on stage, facing the public.

Don't you think it astonishing that, at 58, I am still working at improving my career?

I have always studied my parts with the orchestral score and not with the piano reduction.

I feel at home in an orchestral score.

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

What is sad is not to be able to do today what you have done in your youth. But what is good is to remember that - when you were able - you did it to the best of your ability.

I'm not superstitious because it brings bad luck.
