I am not only fighting against something, I am fighting for something - and I am for life.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
I've been to almost every country in the world, and the most frustrating thing for me has been that my schedule has always been so busy that there's so little time before and after performances to explore where I'm visiting.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
Because, in opera, I have to sing for people that are very far from me, instead of, when I sing a song, I try to imagine to sing like in an ear of a child.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
The voice is something very mysterious. It's difficult to say what is inside a voice that moves people.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
Some years ago I gave a concert in the mountains with snow all around, and that was much colder.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
It's always beautiful to sing with other great voices. I like voices in general. It's a big privilege to have great singers next to me.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
I change the language with which I use my voice. In opera, I know I have an orchestra behind me I have to communicate to people very far from me.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
Often, I went in love with some friends in school. And, no, I suffered. Only later, things went better.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
I first started playing in piano bars for three reasons - to make money, to be in the company of my friends - and also to hook up with young girls. I always knew, even before I played in piano bars, about the effect of my voice.

Image
While they are kids, my children must do as I say.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
Music is able to make a person dream. When you dream, you dream of something good, something beautiful, and when you dream, you always dream of yourself better than you are.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
What is certain is that singing is not merely modulating a song by means of the voice: we sing and we celebrate the beauty that we can grow and live every day. If you want to sing and give emotions to those who are listening, you must have something to tell through your singing you have to use singing like an instrument to tell something.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
A voice is very intimate. It's something of your own. So there's always this fear, because you feel naked. There's a fear of not reaching up to expectations. As you become more famous, people come and expect to hear something extraordinary, so you don't want to disappoint them. I feel this sense of responsibility.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
Music is an art that goes well beyond science. Proof can be found in the huge amount of studies that have been carried out throughout the world based on music-therapy and the important results achieved.

Image
I studied law, and I was ready to be a lawyer in my country (Italy). Probably it is better for many clients that I changed my direction! But I was happy to study and I was a good student, I finished my studies. And everything that you learn is useful in life.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
A career is like a house: it's made of many bricks, and each brick has the same value, because without any one of them, the house would collapse.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
When the mood takes me, I like to be a man of action. I like to windsurf and ski, and most of all I love to ride horses. The wilder and faster the better!
Andrea Bocelli
Image
If you have a great love of singing, supported by others' fondness for your voice, then it is worth making every effort, of making every sacrifice, to achieve your goal. A great voice will easily find teachers who are willing to help a struggling young talent, and the ways of the Lord are infinite.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
The themes I sing about tend to be centered on love, but in the most total, general way 360 degrees of love.

Probably the first time I left Italy was to travel by train to Lourdes. I went with my mother and my grandmother - who was a very religious person - so it was a pilgrimage of sorts. I remember it as a very intense, but beautiful experience.
