"Life is a book we are lent. And they usually want it back just when we’re about to figure out the plot."

"Interviewer: Why are you so popular on the internet? Magalli: There are two ways of looking at my work. Some people just see me as the likeable presenter who says things that are sometimes interesting, and that’s it. But there’s another way of looking at it: I also make jokes that not everyone gets, and that’s what the kids like – they have fun with me and always manage to find something hidden in what I say. Obviously, a young person doesn’t spend all day at home watching I fatti vostri. But if they happen to be watching it, perhaps on a day when they’ve got the flu and aren’t at school, they manage to pick up on things that housewives—the show’s main audience—might not notice. Interviewer: It’s a very different audience from the one you entertain on television? Magalli: Young people have never watched much television — and if, when they do watch it, they find things they don’t like, they’re right not to watch it. But, precisely, perhaps they have a laugh with me when they happen to see me, and then they’re grateful to me. Like anyone else, for that matter: these days, if you give someone a laugh, you make a friend."

"Interviwer: As a doubtful believer, what do you think of the Catholic Church and the pontificate of Pope Francis?

He is also trying to carry out a process of cleansing and reform within the Church’s own walls, and I think all this is wonderful, even if he faces resistance – and quite strong resistance at that."
