More quotes by 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
I am a product of my native land, Tuscany, Italy.
Andrea Bocelli
Popularity gets up people's noses. But I understand the importance and the function of popular music. There is an artistic purpose. Popular music helps people to develop a curiosity and leads them towards classical music.
Andrea Bocelli
More people are listening to opera, and I'm happy - everybody must be given that opportunity.
Andrea Bocelli
It's true that I suffered a lot, especially when I was younger.
Andrea Bocelli
It is the uninvolved parent who has to resort to strictness.
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
My idol has been Franco Corelli. But every singer can teach you something.
Andrea Bocelli
It's always beautiful to sing with other great voices. I like voices in general. It's a big privilege to have great singers next to me.
Andrea Bocelli
The voice is something very mysterious. It's difficult to say what is inside a voice that moves people.
Andrea Bocelli
When I sing for myself, I sing in a more free, athletic way. When I face an audience, there is always some fear that makes me put the brakes on a bit.
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
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
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
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
My style in Italian is very old-style.
Andrea Bocelli
All that counts in life is intention.
Andrea Bocelli
The themes I sing about tend to be centered on love, but in the most total, general way 360 degrees of love.
Andrea Bocelli
Like stars across the sky, we were born to shine.
Andrea Bocelli
I don't like crying. I'm a country boy, and we're the product of our upbringing. As a boy, I was told that men don't cry.
Andrea Bocelli
