But I'm a hot-blooded Italian by nature. Whatever the situation you present, I'm going to make something out of it.

I can't help myself because basically I'm a softie I have this hard, macho shell - which I project on stage but there's a much softer side. too, which melts like butter.

The reason we're successful, darling? My overall charisma, of course.

I'm a very emotional person, a person of real extremes, and that's often destructive both to myself and others.

I'm a flamboyant person. I like to live life. I certainly work hard for it, and I want to have a good time. Don't deny me that. It might not come again and I want to enjoy myself a little.

The Carmen Miranda of rock 'n' roll. But what can I say? I'm a flamboyant personality. I like going out and having a good time.
