What is more simple than to tell to a little boy, 'This is not the truth, it is a game?'

My mother brought me magicians and witches, because I was very ugly, really revolting. So she thought somebody had put a spell on me - this is the truth - so she made me drink some horrible terrifying potions, for year.

I remember in the circus learning that the clown was the prince, the high prince. I always thought that the high prince was the lion or the magician, but the clown is the most important.

It's me, it's my habit to perform live onstage every four, five years. In Italy, it's my habit.

The Divine Comedy' is very sophisticated but also very popular.

Only comedians can talk about death, life, God and Virgin Mary. If I was a tragic actor, I couldn't allow myself. But with this accent I can do it. I can talk with death in person because I am a clown. Yes. And I am proud to be a clown - very much.

It's a sign of mediocrity when you demonstrate gratitude with moderation.
