I can't bear being seen naked. I'm not exactly a tiny woman. When Sophia Loren is naked, this is a lot of nakedness.

You have to be born a sex symbol. You don't become one. If you're born with it, you'll have it even when you're 100 years old.

I exist only because inside of me and above all else I am only and above all a Neapolitan. Naples exists inside of me, and always will. Fortunately for me there is this treasure that I have inside of me and, when I need it, then I pull it out.

I do 45 minutes a day of stretching and abdominals and I lift light weights of half a kilo. Otherwise, if you strain your muscles, then you have to be quiet and stay without any exercise for a long time. I do heavier weights gradually. I'm going to become Superwoman with oil on my muscles!

You do not become a star, you are born a star. A star is born with that indefinable extra something.

Success, I would find out, is interior. It has to do with self-fulfillment and the joy of living.

I am against all war.
