"When all is said and done, I have no great quarrel with being labelled a "fascist". While it is not the whole story, it implies (to me) a sort of Marquis De Sade worldview that sees life in terms of master and slave, strong and weak, predator and prey. I know such views are highly unfashionable, but to me they seem fairly consistent with what I've seen to be true."

"We don’t believe in a master race... We think there are strong people who do what they want to do, and there are other people who just follow along.

"The coasts are doomed, they're death traps. The cities are like malignant cancers, completely dysfunctional. They're llike previews of the Apocalypse. You know how deadly diseases have symptoms - ugly sores that sprout up that sort of signify a deeper problem. That's how I view cities. If America has the cultural equivalent of A.I.D.S., the major cities are analogous to Kaposis Sarcoma. If you want to see life in dysfunction, go to S.F. or L.A. or N.Y."

"A Satanic world is a world reborn in purity, a world where the instinct and the intellect will be complementary to one another rather than being at odds with one another.

It will be a world in which masters will be masters and slaves will be slaves, and never the twain shall meet."

"I feel that I'm a fascist, but 'Nazi' is a real specific term... I'm a fascist in the sense of the modern bastardized meaning of the word. I'm completely against democratic values and liberalism. I think that they have very little to do with life on Earth. I think they're an ideological abstraction."

"Social Darwinism is simply the idea that the Darwinian concept of "survival of the fittest" applies to man. It's the idea that within a culture, superior individuals will rise to the top, and inferior individuals will sink to the bottom, as a part of natural selection. It isn't related to fascism, Nazism, or racism—it's just the way of the world."

"I think AIDS is probably the best thing that's happened to Africa. I mean, just imagine; this is a place with so much population that the land can’t support it, and they can’t feed themselves, and they're starving to death—to me it seems that something like AIDS would be a godsend... think it would be great if that place were just turned into a big animal preserve—what about the animals? Fuck the human beings! Let them all slaughter each other with machetes, let them die of AIDS, let that entire continent turn back into a wild kingdom again."

"(Speaking of Giorgio Gaber) I could have stolen his place when Mina's manager suggested I do a theater season with her. But he did that tour, and that's where he decided to devote himself to theater. I also tried my hand at theater in the early 1970s with ‘'Jacopone’', a rock opera that turned out to be a bit of a disaster. But Giorgio helped me out on that occasion too, telling me how to streamline the show. However, his shows were something else. I was amazed, noticing that he was growing more and more, becoming a true man of the theater. And watching people go crazy for him, even when he was alone on stage for two hours, was a lesson for me. Because he had clearly found the right key to success: with content, but not only that."

"He is the man of clean soccer, of soccer where the best player wins and not those who use other means. This is precisely why he arouses so much interest. Celentano causes quite a stir with his outbursts, a bit like Zeman. I don't know which of the two took after the other! Anyway, yes, they are two characters who can be compared, two people who stand out from the crowd, difficult to imitate and match. I'm happy to see Zeman back in Serie A, he plays good soccer: to think that a few years ago they wanted him for the Bologna bench, but then nothing came of it."

"(With the sick in Lourdes) I felt very fragile and also stupid, full of useless vices."

"When I saw the pain of the people who were there in Lourdes, even my rock bottom seemed like paradise, because when you say “I've hit rock bottom,” you don't really realize what rock bottom really is!"
