Luciano Pavarotti: I was a teacher for an elementary school. My father says, "Listen, now you study, you go to the city, and you become Professor." Because, my father did not succeed as a tenor. He knows how difficult it is, even with the beautiful voice. And, I say, "Okay, if you say so. I will do that." My mother says, "No, I think when I hear my son sing, I have something in my heart." I say, "Mama, you say that because you are my mother. Come on." "No, no, no. No, because I don't say that when I hear your father." She made me do exactly what I want and I think for what I was born to do
