I've Always Known That I Was Born

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.

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. As You Become More Famous, People Come And Expect To Hear Something Extraordinary, So You Don't Want To Disappoint Them. I Feel This Sense Of Responsibility.

I Started As A Lyrical Singer. But It Was Through The Pop Universe That I Reached International Fame.

I Always Knew I Would Sing. I Just Didn't Know If I Would Be Successful Or Not. But I Sang At School, I Sang At Parties, I Sang At Church. Everyone Always Asked Me To Sing. I'd Be Playing Football With My Friends And My Parents Would Ask Me To Sing For Their Guests. I Was Never Very Happy About That Because I Wanted To Play Football.

Some Of Us Are Born With A Weakness For Music. As A Baby, Music Would Stop Whatever Thought I Was Having. If I Was Worried, It Would Stop Me Worrying; If I Was Crying, It Would Stop Me Crying. Music Was A Healing Thing For Me.
