I Do Not Think Anyone

While They Are Kids, My Children Must Do As I Say.

Some Of Us Are Born With A Weakness For Music. As A Baby, Music Would Stop Whatever Thought I Was Having. If I Was Worried, It Would Stop Me Worrying; If I Was Crying, It Would Stop Me Crying. Music Was A Healing Thing For Me.

To Sing Opera, One Needs Two Things: The Voice And The Passion - And Above All, The Passion.

I Prefer To Work For My Country In A Free And Independent Way. I Was Born Free, And I Want To Die Free. I Am Always Suspicious Of Ideology. Instead, I Respect Men With Ideas.

When You Sing Opera You Are Very Far From The People, You Are Onstage, And Between You And The People There Is The Orchestra. So You Have To Launch Your Emotions Very, Very Far. When You Sing Pop, You Are Singing Very Close - The Microphone Is Very Close To Your Mouth. You Can Whisper Your Emotions Into The Microphone.
