I like very much to ride horses. I like soccer, I have had a passion for boxing since I was a child, although it would be stupid for me to box.

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.

Very often, I recognize many, many defects, so I try to improve myself every day. I think my voice is very communicative.

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.

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.

To sing a song is like whispering to a child's ear. It is an art heavily relying on improvisation.

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.

What is beautiful enchants me. I mean not just physical beauty but a wider concept of beauty. There is beauty in poetry and in great musical or singing performances. There is beauty everywhere if you can just see it.

Opera singing is in every way of inestimable value a real heritage for all mankind that has been reached over centuries of studies, attempts, flights of the spirit.

It's important for me who is at the table with me the moment when everyone speaks to each other and everyone listens. If there's good food, it's much better.

I'm most impressed by the Russian writers, so I love reading the works of Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky. Another author who has informed the way I think is the French philosopher, Blaise Pascal.

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.

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

Every audience has its character I like America - they love me. I suffer from stage fright, but in America not so much.

Destiny has a lot to do with it, but so do you. You have to persevere, you have to insist.

I don't like being called 'macho.' Macho basically means stupid and a real Italian man is not macho, he's smart. That's smart in both senses: elegant and clever.

It's true that I suffered a lot, especially when I was younger.

Music is a prerogative of those who are willing to spend time to study it, understand and love it, well aware of the fact that one life is not enough to improve just one single note of what has already been written and performed.

The world is full of many beautiful voices I will perform with many of them. I love women's voices.

In singing, you cannot 'cheat' if you want to give emotions to those who are listening. You must have something to tell.

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.
