Destiny has a lot to do with it, but so do you. You have to persevere, you have to insist.

I have trouble with modern art. But in general, all art forms fascinate me - art is the way human beings express what we can't say in words.

From Andrea Bocelli

I like to windsurf and ski, and most of all I love to ride horses. The wilder and faster the better! If I'm presented with a fast horse or a fast boat, I still get that shiver of excitement and I cannot resist. Luckily I never seem to have any accidents, and thank God for that.

From Andrea Bocelli

I have to face life with a newly found passion. I must rediscover the irresistible will to learn, to live and to love.

From 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.

From Andrea Bocelli

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.

From Andrea Bocelli

I don't like crying. I'm a country boy, and we're the product of our upbringing. As a boy, I was told that men don't cry.

From Andrea Bocelli

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.

From Andrea Bocelli

When I began singing, it was the first time I was happy in my life. As a baby, I would stop crying when I heard a great singer.

From Andrea Bocelli

An opera singer is like an athlete before a match. An athlete cannot overdo anything. In order to perform at the highest possible level, you need to refrain from activities so as to be able to express this power.
