More quotes by 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 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
People are often quite surprised by the sport and leisure activities practised by the blind. For example, tandem cycling is very popular.
Andrea Bocelli
If you don't have the possibility of listening to music, you can't know if you love it.
Andrea Bocelli
The voice is something very mysterious. It's difficult to say what is inside a voice that moves people.
Andrea Bocelli
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.
Andrea Bocelli
When I sing, I think mostly about the music. But I know that, through singing, my body shows everything that I am. I am a very passionate man and I suffer a lot and have a lot of joy also. In my opinion, it is very important for me to find this stimulus and motivation for singing.
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
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.
Andrea Bocelli
All that counts in life is intention.
Andrea Bocelli
I began when I was a child, because I was born and grew up in a little village. And many people ride the horses. So, it was a big - it has been a big passion for me.
Andrea Bocelli
Listen to what others tell you about your voice. If you're only singing to please yourself, you might as well just sing under the shower. But if you're singing for others, you are reliant on them to ask you to sing.
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
Even in the most beautiful music, there are some silences, which are there so we can witness the importance of silence. Silence is more important than ever, as life today is full of noise. We speak a lot about environmental pollution but not enough about noise pollution.
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
I have trouble with modern art. But in general, all art forms fascinate me - art is the way human beings express what we can't say in words.
Andrea Bocelli
Every audience has its character I like America - they love me. I suffer from stage fright, but in America not so much.
Andrea Bocelli
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
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.
Andrea Bocelli
The most widely criticised singers in the history of opera, Maria Callas and Franco Corelli, happen also to be the best singers. I am honoured for being part of their group.
