More quotes by Andrea Bocelli

Image
Faith has a role to play in life. It is not related to success. It is the other way round. Success is related to faith. Faith comes first.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
I've always been on the side of science that tries to help man. I play an active part with the foundations I'm involved in. Science gives hope.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
Criticism in good faith is good. When it's targeted solely to destruction, I'm not interested.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
Opera is complex for those who perform it, but also for those who listen to it. It takes more time, more patience and more spirit of sacrifice. All this is well worth it because opera offers such deep sensations that they will remain in a heart for a lifetime.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
I don't have an extraordinary degree of self-confidence, but I know the gift I have been given from God and I try to share it with as many people as possible. Having a great voice is not a merit. I don't think it is a merit.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
Stage fright is my worst problem.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
When a little more than a teenager, I was a piano-bar pianist in the land where I was born and raised, Tuscany.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
You have to have great passion, because to sing operatic music requires lots of work. I study for at least two hours every day. The voice is like an instrument and requires constant exercise.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
When you're on stage singing, you're naked. Your voice is something very intimate, and that's why I'm scared every time before I perform. It doesn't matter if I'm singing for a king or a queen or the Pope, it's enough to be in front of anybody. I suffer, but I can't do anything about it.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
I have a European frame of mind and Europe is my home.
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
Let me say that I've never thought to conduct because the conductor has to think to the music before the orchestra. And the orchestra comes later. For me, it's terrible.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
I loved playing football. In this particular match the ball happened to hit my right eye, the only one which I could see light and colour with.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
I know that my passion is for opera, but sometimes I like also to sing songs, because there are many beautiful melodies.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
I like reading... French, Russian classics - Gogol, Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, Flaubert. I also like Hemingway, Virginia Woolf.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
The nature of music is mysterious and so much so that it generates strong emotions within us. It moves along passages that reach the most intimate areas of our psyche without being tried by prejudices or influences of any kind.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
A positive frame of mind will definitely enhance your travelling experience. If I'm not in a positive frame of mind then the whole thing definitely becomes more of a challenge for me.

I speak to God every day.
Andrea Bocelli

I am a very lazy man, so, for me, the dream is to be at home on the chair with my family.
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.
