I want to have time for myself, my family and my friends. It's important because in order to sing well, you must have inspiration, and inspiration comes from life, from living.

My idol has been Franco Corelli. But every singer can teach you something.

I live for my children, so my number one rule is I won't go away from home for more than two weeks.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
I started as a lyrical singer. But it was through the pop universe that I reached international fame.

Image
It is not Christian to go against someone. I am in favour of life.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
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
Image
I don't have an extraordinary degree of self-confidence, but I know the gift I have been given from God and I try to share it with as many people as possible. Having a great voice is not a merit. I don't think it is a merit.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
Let me say that I've never thought to conduct because the conductor has to think to the music before the orchestra. And the orchestra comes later. For me, it's terrible.

It is the uninvolved parent who has to resort to strictness.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
I consider the voice a gift from the heavens, and as all the gifts from the heavens, they must be used, but the minute that the heavens call it back then of course I will stop.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
I think I don't want to use drugs or medicine, so nothing. The only way is to go on stage and to hope.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
Even in the most beautiful music there are some silences, which are there so we can witness the importance of silence.
Andrea Bocelli

To sing opera, one needs two things: the voice and the passion - and above all, the passion.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
I do not think anyone can ever do anything without the help and will of God.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
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.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
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
Image
Probably the first time I left Italy was to travel by train to Lourdes. I went with my mother and my grandmother - who was a very religious person - so it was a pilgrimage of sorts. I remember it as a very intense, but beautiful experience.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
I have a European frame of mind and Europe is my home.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
Apart from a period of crisis during my adolescence, when my voice was changing and I could not tame it - it was like a kicking foal that does not listen to reason - I have always been told I have a pleasant and recognizable voice.
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.

To sing a duet together means sharing with someone both the pleasure and the responsibility of making music for an audience which is there to feel enjoyment through music.
