Andrea Bocelli quotes - page 5

It is not Christian to go against someone. I am in favour of life. (Andrea Bocelli)
I have big, big stage fright.
Andrea Bocelli
I don't have an extraordinary degree of self-confidence, but I know the gift I have been given from God, and I try to share it with as many people as possible.
Andrea Bocelli
I loved riding bikes and horses. I was eight when I started having lessons, and when my father bought me my own horse I couldn't wait to go off on my own.
Andrea Bocelli
The voice is something very mysterious. It's difficult to say what is inside a voice that moves people.
Andrea Bocelli
I live for my children, so my number one rule is I won't go away from home for more than two weeks.
Andrea Bocelli
I don't like being called 'macho.' Macho basically means stupid and a real Italian man is not macho, he's smart. That's smart in both senses: elegant and clever.
Andrea Bocelli
I'm quite shy, so I hate seeing my private life splashed over the papers.
Andrea Bocelli
Now I'm more sure and I feel myself more comfortable singing.
Andrea Bocelli
Let me say that I've never thought to conduct because the conductor has to think to the music before the orchestra. And the orchestra comes later. For me, it's terrible.
Andrea Bocelli
I'm a country boy, and we're the product of our upbringing. As a boy, I was told that men don't cry. (Andrea Bocelli)
I've always been on the side of science that tries to help man. I play an active part with the foundations I'm involved in. Science gives hope.
Andrea Bocelli
For me, the most enjoyable type of singing is opera. It allows you to move, to wear a costume... to do something with your body. When singing in concert, you have to stand up in front of the audience, next to the conductor, which is less natural.
Andrea Bocelli
The fact that I am blind is not what defines my life. It should be of no more interest than my blood type. People wonder if there is a relationship between my lack of sight and the way I sing. But there's no connection.
Andrea Bocelli
It's always beautiful to sing with other great voices. I like voices in general. It's a big privilege to have great singers next to me.
Andrea Bocelli
I've always known that I was born to sing, ever since I was a child.
Andrea Bocelli
I don't have an extraordinary degree of self-confidence, but I know the gift I have been given from God and I try to share it with as many people as possible. Having a great voice is not a merit. I don't think it is a merit.
Andrea Bocelli
In singing, you cannot 'cheat' if you want to give emotions to those who are listening. You must have something to tell.
Andrea Bocelli
Fatherhood is a very natural thing; it's not something that shakes up my life but rather it enriches it.
Andrea Bocelli
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.
Andrea Bocelli
I am honored I have performed 'Quizas Quizas Quizas' with Jennifer Lopez, an eclectic artist who thanks to the charismatic power of her voice and to her soft sensuality, has managed to make this song particularly convincing. (Andrea Bocelli)
More people are listening to opera, and I'm happy - everybody must be given that opportunity.
Andrea Bocelli
Popularity gets up people's noses. But I understand the importance and the function of popular music. There is an artistic purpose. Popular music helps people to develop a curiosity and leads them towards classical music.
Andrea Bocelli
A country that has really resonated with me and I was really impressed with was Israel. I found that the whole country had a very special atmosphere. I was there to perform, but it was one of the few places that I've visited over the years that I had some free time to explore, and I was hugely impressed by all the religious history there.
Andrea Bocelli
I did a pop album, 'Sogno,' in 1999. I think it's important to record another pop album because many people love pop music. By this kind of repertoire, some people can later discover classical music.
