Famous quotes by Luciano Pavarotti:

"I think Beijing deserves the Olympics in order to be with all the rest of the world recognized,"

"I remember quite well that 10,000 audience sang with us three on the spot, and ever since then, I always thought the Chinese audience are the greatest audience,"

"He wants only to rest and to have a little peace."

"I think it was very good. I would like to say it was romantic, absolutely, very difficult in 2001 to have something like that,"

"If your body is not in shape to sing [from the diaphragm] you will push and push but keep falling back on your throat to make the sound. This will ruin your voice."

"In opera, as with any performing art, to be in great demand and to command high fees you must be good of course, but you must also be famous. The two are different things."

"I want to be famous everywhere."

"You don't need any brains to listen to music."

"Learning music by reading about it is like making love by mail."

"Am I afraid of high notes? Of course I am afraid? What sane man is not?"

"Above all, I am an opera singer. This is how people will remember me."

"Opera is a beautiful and important diversion for me."

"People have a right to criticize."

"I want to reach as many people as possible with the message of music, of wonderful opera."

"I am a tenor buff. I hear myself."

"It is so important for people at a young age to be invited to embrace classical music and opera."

"Am I afraid of high notes? Of course I am afraid. What sane man is not?"

"Opera is one of the most important art forms. It should be listened to and appreciated by everyone."

"Sometime to be called Pavarotti is not always an advantage."

"If children are not introduced to music at an early age, I believe something fundamental is actually being taken from them."
