• At the age of nineteen, after my first sexual encounter, I became pregnant. I decided to have an abortion, a difficult choice that I would never make again in my life. It was a traumatic experience that happened just a few months before my final exams. My father still does not know, and the father of that child will never know.

• The Isola dei famosi where I invested my passion, blood, work and sweat has become something else, a kind of "Grande Fratello on the beach”.

• (About the Sanremo Music Festival 2004) The record companies wanted to destroy the event [...]. They didn't send any singers, they were all young people, almost all unknown or not signed to record companies. Marco Masini, who won with “Uomo volante”, was not signed to a record label at the time. [...] It was a precursor to today's talent shows, and with hindsight it is recognised as very innovative. [...] It was a train that passed by and I jumped on with my eyes closed. I knew there wouldn't be many opportunities. Sanremo gives you your presenter's licence, even if it was a very difficult, extremely difficult Sanremo.

• I've always been distant from politics. I'm extremely apolitical.
