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.

I would've done anything to work with Satyajit Ray.

I've conducted an experiment on my kids. Instead of denying them access to media, I've encouraged it. They read comic books, play Nintendo and watch way too much TV.

As a child I wanted to be a ballerina, ice-cream van owner, wife of George Michael, a nun, and a music conductor.
