“There’s no pleasure in working if you don’t do the things you want to do.”

As far as beauty is concerned, in order to be confident we must accept that the way we look and feel is our own responsibility.

After all these years, I am still involved in the process of self-discovery. It’s better to explore life and make mistakes than to play it safe. Mistakes are part of the dues one pays for a full life.

Transformation is something I cannot explain – too much analysis might destroy it.

You can always dream. Life is full of dreams that you can fulfill.

Many people think they want things, but they don’t really have the strength, the discipline. They are weak. I believe that you get what you want if you want it badly enough.

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

It’s necessary to have an energy that carries you forward. You need the will to live, to have a great curiosity. To look for the best in life, to find new interests.

I think the quality of sexiness comes from within.

I don’t like to go in places where women talk and gossip. The atmosphere I don’t like, even though you can sometimes meet nice people. For me, it’s a waste of time.

If you don’t have the roots somewhere, it’s very difficult for people to work with you. Because you are a different person from them. They don’t know you, really. They don’t know how you feel.

Be honest about what you can get. To make a sacrifice and to get what you want you need to be very certain. In other words: always think about your objective, have a clear goal and commit to it from the heart.

I have never judged myself by other people’s standards. I have always expected a great deal of myself, and if I fail, I fail myself.

Believe me, it is actions that count.

Sex is like washing your face – just something you do because you have to. Sex without love is absolutely ridiculous. Sex follows love, it never precedes it.

Without my mother’s ambition, her drive, I doubt that on my own I would have pushed myself out of Pozzuoli and into the frightening world that was faraway Rome.

Though poor and anxious to work, I refused to alter anything. They would take me as I looked or not at all. Eventually I profited by looking like myself and not like what was fashionable years ago with certain film technicians in Rome.

Knowledge wins over ignorance. What about being happy? You naturally see what’s wrong first than to appreciate good things.

Your happiness doesn’t need permission from someone else.

It is better to be unhappy and know the worst, than to be happy in a fool’s paradise.

Despite everything I’m glad we met.

Do your own thing and live your way of happiness.

He thinks that his superpower is the ability to happily stay alone. In reality, its his defense mechanism!

Choose to be someone that makes you happy and has an overall sense of positivity.

She was a recovered woman dipped in happiness, cleansed of darkness that would lit her aflame.
