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
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
Image
I've always known that I was born to sing, ever since I was a child.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
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
Image
I am a very lazy man, so, for me, the dream is to be at home on the chair with my family.

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 don't know if One Direction will stand the test of time. I have a niece who goes crazy for them. But the only way to judge art is to wait and see if it becomes evergreen. This takes a bit of time. Adele is a very good musician and I'd like to sing with her. But, again, time will tell if her music will become evergreen.

The activity of a singer that sings opera is similar to that of an athlete.

I have big, big stage fright.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
It's true that I suffered a lot, especially when I was younger.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
When you're on stage singing, you're naked. Your voice is something very intimate, and that's why I'm scared every time before I perform. It doesn't matter if I'm singing for a king or a queen or the Pope, it's enough to be in front of anybody. I suffer, but I can't do anything about it.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
I'm most impressed by the Russian writers, so I love reading the works of Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky. Another author who has informed the way I think is the French philosopher, Blaise Pascal.
Andrea Bocelli

For me, riding a two-wheeler bike was very risky. Counting the pedal strokes before turning a corner and learning to hear the sounds coming from buildings, grass and the climbing frame made all the difference to basic survival and ensured that I didn't end up head-first in the sandpit.

Because I practice often with my children at home.

If you don't have the possibility of listening to music, you can't know if you love it.

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

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 have to face life with a newly found passion. I must rediscover the irresistible will to learn, to live and to love.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
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

My real passion is for opera. It was born and developed by listening to records, and my dream as a child was to record entire operas when I grew up, and this dream came true.
