There is no prodigy in our profession. If you see all the great singer of the past, none of them are.
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?
The rivalry is with ourself. I try to be better than is possible. I fight against myself, not against the other.
Above all, I am an opera singer. This is how people will remember me.
