I am very proud to be Italian.

Everybody in our family studied a musical instrument. My father was really big on that. Somehow I only took a year or two of piano lessons and I convinced my father to let me take dancing lessons.

That consciousness is everything and that all things begin with a thought. That we are responsible for our own fate, we reap what we sow, we get what we give, we pull in what we put out.

I am attracted to a thug. I like that quality, but I like the other side of it, too. Because all guys who go around behaving in macho ways are really scared little girls. So you have to look beneath the surface. There's a difference between my ideal man and a man that I'm sexually attracted to, believe me. Therein lies the rub.

My daughter's birth was like a rebirth for me.

I have the same goal I've had ever since I was a girl: I want to rule the world.

My daughter is a fan of mine but she doesn't want to be too obvious about it because I'm her mum and it's not cool.
