"Berlusconi hired Mangano, I introduced him to him, it's very true, among so many people who were in competition for that position, and to whom Berlusconi even entrusted the house, and Mr. Mangano also accompanied Berlusconi's children to school.

"Luttazzi is a jerk."

"I have a very good relationship with Casini. I don't hide the affection I have for Pier Ferdinando. I like the extraordinary sympathy of him. He is a pleasant person: I love him. I am grateful to Casini. After the Palermo court ruling (actually it was before, ed.) he exposed himself as president of the Chamber by expressing solidarity in a spontaneous, sincere, disinterested way."

"In Forza Italia the only one in charge is Berlusconi. There is no hierarchy. There are no hierarchs."

"Silvio Berlusconi entered politics to defend his companies."

"[About Pietro Grasso ] He is balanced, a statesman. He knows who I am. [...] Grasso is a good person, I am happy for his election as President of the Senate. [...] He is not a fanatical magistrate like Ingroia."

"[About w:en:Pietro Grasso:Pietro Grasso ] Grasso, when he was young, played soccer on my team, Bacigalupo, and he was famous because he always came out of the field clean at the end of the game: even when there was mud, he always managed not to splash himself."

"Spatuzza? Someone like that, Falcone would have turned him in."
