Quote

I loved riding bikes and horses. I was eight when I started having lessons, and when my father bought me my own horse I couldn't wait to go off on my own.

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.

Even in the most beautiful music there are some silences, which are there so we can witness the importance of silence.

It is the uninvolved parent who has to resort to strictness.
Andrea Bocelli

Faith has a role to play in life. It is not related to success. It is the other way round. Success is related to faith. Faith comes first.

Image
An opera singer is like an athlete before a match. An athlete cannot overdo anything. In order to perform at the highest possible level, you need to refrain from activities so as to be able to express this power.

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

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.

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.

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

The voice is something very mysterious. It's difficult to say what is inside a voice that moves people.

More people are listening to opera, and I'm happy - everybody must be given that opportunity.

I never think about gifts. It's enough to have my family present.
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.

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 think I don't want to use drugs or medicine, so nothing. The only way is to go on stage and to hope.

I did a pop album, 'Sogno,' in 1999. I think it's important to record another pop album because many people love pop music. By this kind of repertoire, some people can later discover classical music.

When the mood takes me, I like to be a man of action. I like to windsurf and ski, and most of all I love to ride horses. The wilder and faster the better!

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

I always knew I would sing. I just didn't know if I would be successful or not. But I sang at school, I sang at parties, I sang at church. Everyone always asked me to sing. I'd be playing football with my friends and my parents would ask me to sing for their guests. I was never very happy about that because I wanted to play football.
