Andrea Bocelli

Criticism in good faith is good. When it's targeted solely to destruction, I'm not interested.

I've always known that I was born to sing, ever since I was a child.

A love song must respect the canons of music beauty, entering the fibers of those who are listening. It must make them dream and pleasantly introduce them to the universe of love.

The soprano has all those other instruments in it. It's got the soprano song voice, flute, violin, clarinet, and tenor elements and can even approach the baritone in intensity.

When I do my makeup, it kind of helps me get into the character that I'm trying to portray.

I am a big one for subtlety and empathy. My dad was softly spoken and didn't carry his honours and accomplishments for everyone to see.
