It is so important for people at a young age to be invited to embrace classical music and opera. - Luciano Pavarotti
Some say the word 'pop' is a derogatory word to say 'not important' - I do not accept that. If the word 'classic' is the word to say 'boring,' I do not accept. There is good and bad music. - Luciano Pavarotti
I have spent many days stringing and unstringing my instrument while the song I came to sing remains unsung.
My day is done, and I am like a boat drawn on the beach, listening to the dance-music of the tide in the evening.
I felt I really wanted to back off from music completely and just work within the visual arts in some way. I started painting quite passionately at that time.
I wish myself to be a prop, if anything, for my songs. I want to be the vehicle for my songs. I would like to color the material with as much visual expression as is necessary for that song.
On the other hand, what I like my music to do to me is awaken the ghosts inside of me. Not the demons, you understand, but the ghosts.
There is simply no limit to the tyrannical snobbery that otherwise decent people can descend into when it comes to music.
