At the end of the day I have always seen the end of my relationships as a personal failure. There is nothing ever pretty in saying goodbye.

My maternal desires are fully satisfied with my dogs.

I am a firm believer in marriage. In the future I will be married.

I don't always have the stomach muscles I have, and I get cellulite as well like everyone else.

I have always seen cold and controlled men as the right ones for me.

I love variety in my life.

I'm a bit of a tomboy, but when it comes to love I am a doormat.

I'm looking for men who can give me security.

Since I was a little kid, I was against fur. I never wore fur in my life.

American men are more open, they are readier to express their emotions, but they also get frightened easily. Italians are used to drama. For us, arguing, shouting is perfectly normal - for them it is inconceivable.

In the past I would self destruct when it came to love - I was immature, throwing myself into things but now times have changed, I want a relationship where you understand the other person.

Sometimes when I flick through a magazine and see these thin models I'm left wondering what effect they can have on an insecure person. But I say to girls: forget what you see in the magazines, that is a world which has nothing to do with reality; think of it as a cartoon.
