What was not written about me. For example, that I rarely leave home and reluctantly go into conversations. But this is not true. Give me a reason - and I will say that.

I am rebellious against all politicians, regardless of what banner they hide behind. After all, none of them stopped the destructive wave of new buildings. I am rebellious against the poor who agree to bury themselves alive in these concrete boxes. I am rebellious against those for whom to keep up with the times - this means destroying everything that was created before them in my path. After all, this is about the same as getting to live on the sixth floor, when the five lower are given under demolition.

I have long come to terms with the fact that in the future everything would only be worse, but for some reason I continue to resent and criticize. Probably to clear conscience.

Probably the only way to teach politicians to be honest and wise again is to attach to each of them according to a philosopher or poet.

To be fair, you must first be kind. And to be kind - this means to understand that all people are mistaken.

Some people consider me a reactionary, and probably they are right. I sang: "True love, fainted forever in heaven, and nothing on earth will destroy it." Then everyone saw in this a political statement: as if I were opposing divorces. In fact, in this song I confessed to my wife's love. And the divorces ... If people at some point stopped getting along with each other, a divorce is the right way out. But first you need to try to do everything possible to save love.

The family is either constant sabotage or reliable support. In the latter case, you are very lucky.

I don’t understand little in embryos, but I know one thing for sure: any spark of life needs to be protected.

From the height of the age of seventy, everything is seen differently. It is difficult not to notice that our planet is seriously ill.

When I see myself in old black and white videos, I think: “Damn, but I was beautiful. And how did I not notice this before? "

On the cover of one of the discs, the artist portrayed me in the image of a boxer. He seems to have guessed correctly. A boxer is the one who fights. He accepts and strikes, dreams of victory, and sometimes tolerates defeats. And then, returning home with a patch on his eyebrows, he asks himself: maybe I dreamed in vain?

Whatever you come up with, there will always be the one who has already done it before you. So the main thing is to do it better.

The secret of my originality is that I copy a lot. When I watched films with Clark Gabel, I always tried to adopt his gestures.

Why did I christened myself with the "king of ignorant"? Probably because life is becoming more complicated, and people begin to think more and more sophisticated and subtly. In such a situation, revelations must be expected from ordinary people - from a passerby who, perhaps, does not even know how to read.

My advice to you: value your ignorance and share it with those who are too tanned in matters of economics and culture.

Recently Montedzemolo (President of Ferrari. - Esquire) launched a new high -speed train. I do not mind, but only you need to balance it with something. Let Montedzemolo now launch another train, say, under the name “Snail”, which will specially go very slowly - so that passengers can admire the views from the window.

I went around thousands of churches - from the Milan Cathedral to the churches of Bologna, Naples and Palermo - and nowhere could not catch a word from the sermon. Not because the priests spoke incomprehensible, but because they simply could not adjust the sound in the loudspeakers, and in the last rows they were not heard at all. It seems to me that they reason like this: we did our job, read the sermon, and it was heard in the last rows or not - this is not our concern.

Most of all it annoys me that preachers always forget to say the most important thing: for some reason they never talk about paradise. Why? There is a feeling that a person lives on earth only in order to die. But this is not true. Priests are simply obliged to remind us of paradise, otherwise many will think that life is only what is here and now. Although what, to hell, is life? Continuous taxes, crises and military conflicts.

Italy needs the right person. If you think that I mean myself, then you are mistaken. Of course, I would come up, but I'm too old. Let it be someone very similar to me.

I always felt like a rich man who at any moment can lose everything for the sake of ideal.

Success is a beautiful and very pleasant thing. But what is this in comparison with the happiness that you experience when you play with your friends a party in Bochch (traditional Italian game with the ball. - Esquire)?

I always liked to be “talented cretin” (one of the nicknames of Chelentano. - Esquire). Because in this phrase the word "nerd" acquires special meaning. Something like a "talented madman."

I am invited to San Remo not just like a singer, but because of a whole set of qualities: I sing and dance, and I say folding, and I can fix the clock, and the current crane, if necessary, twist.

To assemble the stadium today is a simple matter. Previously, many people succeeded - I, and more, perhaps, to anyone. And now people seem to have nowhere to put money - everyone goes to concerts. So I decided: I will take and collect an empty hall. I’ll announce now that there and there at 9:15 there will be my concert. I will come there at the appointed time, but no one will come, because no one will believe my word now, and I will not give any announcements anymore. I’ll just come - and collect an empty hall. And it will be a sensation.

Do not try to understand everything. So more interesting.
