I Do Not Think Anyone Can Ever

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.

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.

Living Is Dangerous. The Important Thing Is To Know The Limits.

I Listen To Music Every Day For Study Reasons, And I Confess That I Have Very Little Knowledge Of What Is Going On In The Hit Parades Around The World. I Have No Prejudices For Any Kind Of Music Genre, And I Listen With Pleasure To Many Songs On The Radio That My Children Already Know Of By Heart, While I Hear Them Practically For The First Time.

For Me, The Most Enjoyable Type Of Singing Is Opera. It Allows You To Move, To Wear A Costume ... To Do Something With Your Body. When Singing In Concert You Have To Stand Up In Front Of The Audience, Next To The Conductor, Which Is Less Natural.
