I am a very superstitious person.

Sometime to be called Pavarotti is not always an advantage.

Am I afraid of high notes? Of course I am afraid. What sane man is not?

There is no prodigy in our profession. If you see all the great singer of the past, none of them are.

The rivalry is with ourself. I try to be better than is possible. I fight against myself, not against the other.
