A private aeroplane costs too much. I charter one when I need it. That is to say, I buy a certain number of hours per year and that's like being the owner of an eighth part of it. What happens is that on occasion I have no alternative other than to use it because maybe after a performance in Madrid I need to go to Rome because I have a very early rehearsal the following morning. At those times it is indispensable to me.
Energy always produces more energy.
When I am excited about an idea I accomplish it sooner or later, and that's it. Personally I would be pleased to carry on as before and improve many things. Hold my ground in the position I have as a singer and conductor, and keep the tranquility and serenity of the family. On a more general level it would be wonderful if we could have a year filled with peace and tranquility where we wouldn't have corruption, terrorism, nor wars, where we could all enjoy ourselves more, take better care of our planet and put an end to the struggle for life we have in some places. These are my wishes for the new year.
