Image
The voice is something very mysterious. It's difficult to say what is inside a voice that moves people.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
I listen to music every day for study reasons, and I confess that I have very little knowledge of what is going on in the hit parades around the world. I have no prejudices for any kind of music genre, and I listen with pleasure to many songs on the radio that my children already know of by heart, while I hear them practically for the first time.

All that counts in life is intention.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
When I was very young, I started trying to sing like the great tenor Mario Lanza my family used to play his records. We all learn best by imitating others.

While they are kids, my children must do as I say.

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!

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

People are often quite surprised by the sport and leisure activities practised by the blind. For example, tandem cycling is very popular.

I think I don't want to use drugs or medicine, so nothing. The only way is to go on stage and to hope.

When a little more than a teenager, I was a piano-bar pianist in the land where I was born and raised, Tuscany.

It is the uninvolved parent who has to resort to strictness.

Image
More people are listening to opera, and I'm happy - everybody must be given that opportunity.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
I was a daredevil before, and after I lost my sight I was the same. I loved riding bikes, scooters and horses. I even learned to box. Muhammad Ali is my hero.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
I always knew I would sing. I just didn't know if I would be successful or not. But I sang at school, I sang at parties, I sang at church. Everyone always asked me to sing. I'd be playing football with my friends and my parents would ask me to sing for their guests. I was never very happy about that because I wanted to play football.

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
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.

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 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
My life experience has taught me nothing happens by chance. Even the idea of the ball in a roulette game: it's not chance it ends up in a certain place. It's forces that are at play.

I never think about gifts. It's enough to have my family present.
