My Style In Italian Is Very Old-style.

For Me, Riding A Two-wheeler Bike Was Very Risky. Counting The Pedal Strokes Before Turning A Corner And Learning To Hear The Sounds Coming From Buildings, Grass And The Climbing Frame Made All The Difference To Basic Survival And Ensured That I Didn't End Up Head-first In The Sandpit.

I Don't Know If One Direction Will Stand The Test Of Time. I Have A Niece Who Goes Crazy For Them. But The Only Way To Judge Art Is To Wait And See If It Becomes Evergreen. This Takes A Bit Of Time. Adele Is A Very Good Musician And I'd Like To Sing With Her. But, Again, Time Will Tell If Her Music Will Become Evergreen.

I Change The Language With Which I Use My Voice. In Opera, I Know I Have An Orchestra Behind Me; I Have To Communicate To People Very Far From Me.

I Was A Daredevil Before, And After I Lost My Sight I Was The Same. I Loved Riding Bikes, Scooters And Horses. I Even Learned To Box. Muhammad Ali Is My Hero.

When A Little More Than A Teenager, I Was A Piano-bar Pianist In The Land Where I Was Born And Raised, Tuscany.
