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.

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.

My style in Italian is very old-style.

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.

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
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.

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

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.

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.

All that counts in life is intention.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
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.

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

I have a European frame of mind and Europe is my home.
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.

Image
In preparing my thesis, I have had the pleasure of collecting testimonies from colleagues such as Placido Domingo but also from singing teachers and musicologists. The entire course of study has confirmed what I already thought, that the value and meaning of opera singing, at the beginning of the third millennium, remain intact.

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.

I speak to God every day.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
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.

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.
