Now I'm More Sure And I Feel

You Have To Have Great Passion, Because To Sing Operatic Music Requires Lots Of Work. I Study For At Least Two Hours Every Day. The Voice Is Like An Instrument And Requires Constant Exercise.

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.

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.

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.

I've Always Known That I Was Born To Sing, Ever Since I Was A Child.
