The voice changes very slowly. I keep mine well under control and try with all my might to keep it exactly as it was at the very beginning.

I was overcome with happiness, love, and tenderness ... Right after he was washed, I studied him with my hands: his downy little head, his little nose, everything on the tiny body.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
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.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
Singing provides a true sense of lightheartedness. If I sing when I am alone, I feel wonderful. It's freedom.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
Living is dangerous. The important thing is to know the limits.
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 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.

Classical music and pop are two different universes, each with its own difficulties, peculiarities, depth and artistic dignity. In Italy, I think there is a fairly clear line of demarcation, but the history of music is full of fusion. Popular and classical music have always found points of contact, of crossing, exchange, both drawing mutual profit.

I began when I was a child, because I was born and grew up in a little village. And many people ride the horses. So, it was a big - it has been a big passion for me.

The activity of a singer that sings opera is similar to that of an athlete.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
I've always known that I was born to sing, ever since I was a child.
Andrea Bocelli

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

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

Some years ago I gave a concert in the mountains with snow all around, and that was much colder.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
Even in the most beautiful music there are some silences, which are there so we can witness the importance of silence.

You can be great only if it is your destiny.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
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

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.

When you sing opera you are very far from the people, you are onstage, and between you and the people there is the orchestra. So you have to launch your emotions very, very far. When you sing pop, you are singing very close - the microphone is very close to your mouth. You can whisper your emotions into the microphone.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
In singing, you cannot 'cheat' if you want to give emotions to those who are listening. You must have something to tell.
