I feel like a little boy who is constantly offered new toys..

We all have a destiny in accordance with the breadth of our shoulders. My shoulders are broad..

Sometimes pianists try to sound like singers: me personally, I try to sound like a Bösendorfer..

I am never wrong when it comes to my possibilities..

My strength is my enthusiasm..

Every three days on average, I am alone on stage, facing the public..

Honestly, if the public still wants to hear me in some works, I have to go down a half step..

With my personal preparation at the piano, I can afford to hum at half voice..

This season, over eight productions, I am presenting four young tenors..

When a young artist is ready, one has to bring him into the limelight..

The press regularly proclaims my ambitions and my financial demands..

Let us be clear: I take ten times more money for a concert than for an opera performance..

I'm not superstitious because it brings bad luck..

I hope I have given back half the joy music has given me..

When it becomes clear that no one else shares your level of passion, you are where you belong..

I was married at 16, a father at 17 and divorced at 18..

The high note is not the only thing..

When I was a young man, I was a baritone, very far from possessing the whole range of the tenor then..

When working with an orchestra, you never spend more than 20 minutes per recording session..

When you are confronted with an opera, you have to keep an eye on everything: the musicians, the chorus, the ballet, the singers, the staging..

I will prove that a great conducting career is expecting me..
