Placido Domingo

On the other hand, I have devoted so much energy to reach the top that I accept the stress of being there.

I am never wrong when it comes to my possibilities.

To stay at my best, I have to stop talking during the preceding day.

Singing becomes a form of therapy.

But enough joking. I am singing. This is all my life.

The public is a part of my real life.

If money was my only motivation, I would organize myself differently.

The voice collects and translates your bad physical health, your emotional worries, your personal troubles.

I then realized that I could never be satisfied again with the mere natural charm of my voice, that I had to constantly paint when singing, melting all the colors, expressing reds and blacks that had to be less primary but bursting with subtly colored combinations.

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

When facing symphonic orchestras which have played some works five thousands times, you have nothing to do.

The public made me and then encouraged me for many years, and my future even now depends upon it.
