One is that we are all responsible for our actions, our behavior, and our words, and we must take responsibility for everything we say and do. I am the architect of my destiny. You can`t blame other people for things that happened to you.
I ran to the forest, I ran to the trees. I ran and I ran, I was looking for me.
I think I had a lot of bad hair moments. In the early 80's just sometimes I wore purple lipstick or green lipstick.
I don't doubt love for a second. I'm living for love. Listen to my songs!
What is the big deal about Eminem? Since when is offensive language a reason for being unpopular? I like the fact that Eminem is brash and angry and politically incorrect. At least he has an opinion. He's stirring things up. He's provoking a discussion. He's making people's blood boil. He's reflecting what's going on in society right now. That is what art is supposed to do.

I didn't really give a sh** what's going on in the rest of the world. I just didn't. I just wanted to focus on me, me, me, my career, my life, just me - blinders.
I am very proud to be Italian.
Everyone who knows me thinks I'm a bit of a work Nazi.
If I have to be the person who opens the door for women to believe and understand and embrace the idea that they can be sexual and look good and be as relevant in their 50s or their 60s as they were in their 20s, then so be it.
