More quotes by Andrea Bocelli
When I get on stage, my first goal is not to show my expertise, but on the contrary, to give a bit of happiness, of joy, of cheerfulness. I am firmly convinced that in order to sing well, you must love your neighbor and be passionate about life.
Andrea Bocelli
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
In singing, you cannot 'cheat' if you want to give emotions to those who are listening. You must have something to tell.
Andrea Bocelli
To sing a song is like whispering to a child's ear. It is an art heavily relying on improvisation.
Andrea Bocelli
The fact that I am blind is not what defines my life. It should be of no more interest than my blood type. People wonder if there is a relationship between my lack of sight and the way I sing. But there's no connection.
Andrea Bocelli
Like stars across the sky, we were born to shine.
Andrea Bocelli
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.
Andrea Bocelli
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
When I began singing, it was the first time I was happy in my life. As a baby, I would stop crying when I heard a great singer.
Andrea Bocelli
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
I have always loved music and singing, and I am open to listen to any type of music. Regardless of my mood, my heart is always set racing when I listen to opera. When I decide which music I want to hear, my choice is almost invariably an opera recording.
Andrea Bocelli
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.
Andrea Bocelli
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.
Andrea Bocelli
When you sing and people want that you sing, then you can hope to be great.
Andrea Bocelli
Even in the most beautiful music there are some silences, which are there so we can witness the importance of silence.
Andrea Bocelli
All that counts in life is intention.
Andrea Bocelli
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
I don't know if One Direction will stand the test of time. I have a niece who goes crazy for them. But the only way to judge art is to wait and see if it becomes evergreen. This takes a bit of time. Adele is a very good musician and I'd like to sing with her. But, again, time will tell if her music will become evergreen.
Andrea Bocelli
I like to windsurf and ski, and most of all I love to ride horses. The wilder and faster the better! If I'm presented with a fast horse or a fast boat, I still get that shiver of excitement and I cannot resist. Luckily I never seem to have any accidents, and thank God for that.
Andrea Bocelli
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.
Andrea Bocelli
