becomes challenge definitely enhance experience frame inside mind positive travelling
To be happy when you are travelling, you need to be happy inside before you leave. A positive frame of mind will definitely enhance your travelling experience. If I'm not in a positive frame of mind then the whole thing definitely becomes more of a challenge for me.
country men
I'm a country boy, and we're the product of our upbringing. As a boy, I was told that men don't cry.
began born grew people ride time
I try to find some time for my horses. I began when I was a child, because I was born and grew up in a little village. And many people ride the horses. So, it was a big - it has been a big passion for me.
helps playing
It's very important for me to try to relax when I'm travelling, and playing my flute helps me to unwind.
careers house bricks
A career is like a house: it's made of many bricks, and each brick has the same value, because without any one of them, the house would collapse.
fear fright reaching stage worst
Stage fright is my worst problem. A voice is very intimate. It's something of your own. So there's always this fear, because you feel naked. There's a fear of not reaching up to expectations.
lack people relationship
People wonder if there is a relationship between my lack of sight and the way I sing. But there's no connection.
opera singers groups
The most widely criticised singers in the history of opera, Maria Callas and Franco Corelli, happen also to be the best singers. I am honoured for being part of their group.
fate destiny persevere
Destiny has a lot to do with it, but so do you. You have to persevere, you have to insist.
sight singing feels
Now I'm more sure and I feel myself more comfortable singing.
thinking lucky preference
I have always tried to perform the music I love, and I think I am lucky because my preferences are often the ones of the public.
music beautiful silence
Even in the most beautiful music, there are some silences, which are there so we can witness the importance of silence. Silence is more important than ever, as life today is full of noise. We speak a lot about environmental pollution but not enough about noise pollution.

facts and-love study
Music is a prerogative of those who are willing to spend time to study it, understand and love it, well aware of the fact that one life is not enough to improve just one single note of what has already been written and performed.
