“When you're insecure about your technique, you close yourself off. You...” — Marcello Giordani Quote

“When you're insecure about your technique, you close yourself off. Your shoulders tighten. The first thing, you should open your body and sing. Be happy. Sing real vowels, real Italian vowels. When you're learning a good way to sing technically, you find it's very easy to sing well.”

“God smiled on me in every sense. I was born a tenor, and you know what that means. Tenors are a rare commodity.”

“I want my wife and children to travel always with me and share good things and bad things. That's what the family is for.”

“I play piano very badly. That's my great regret.”

“I try to steal something from the great singers. Of course, I don't want to imitate their sound, but I try to do a sort of compromise.”

“In the past, my voice was my enemy.”

“I think that women out there should just be happy with how they look, and they shouldn't really try to conform to any stereotype. Just be happy and, hopefully, healthy.”

“I wouldn't be happy to be a specialist. There are some very interesting artists in history who refused to be nailed down into a category, like Da Vinci or Jean Cocteau. You could say Cocteau was a great poet but also a film-maker, interested in theatre, sculpture, and could never identify with any of these forms exclusively.”

“One thing I learned from my old man is that people are going to be happy for you, but not too happy. When the tables are turned and you're hanging out on top with a guy like Randy Orton, who is in the main event at Wrestlemania, not all the guys are going to like you.”

“No politician in a European sense is happy with 26 million people unemployed. Nobody can be happy with 6 to 9 million young people unemployed. You have to give them hope and confidence and a sense of inspiration that the European process is actually about people, not about bureaucracy.”

“Want nothing but the best for your friends because when your friends are happy and successful, it's probably going to be easier for you to be happy.”
