"(About the reason why the homosexual audience likes her) Because, deep down, I am also very gay.

"Interviewer: Are you in favour of adoption for same-sex couples? Venier: Of course! I really can't understand why there are so many preconceptions. There's a lot of talk about it, but no one understands that behind this issue there is only one word: love, and it's all simpler than it seems. When I talk to friends and colleagues, I always ask, 'Do you really think a child is better off in an orphanage than with two people ready to give them lots of love?"

It's a new position for me. It's too late to pay tribute to them, so I'll try to make up for it by being a good father and scholar. [1]"

"For me, the arrival of my daughter was a burst of enthusiasm and death. We will have a condensed time. I will talk to her from day one. I don't want her to find out who her father was after I'm gone. Even now, I try to capture every moment. I write. I take photographs."

"Max Biaggi has never had it easy in life and has had to and must continually fight for his certainties. He has a sense of revenge against something that only he knows; this is why he wants to prove, to himself before others, that he is a strong person. As a rider, he is a great professional, someone who takes nothing for granted and who physically prepares himself more and better than the previous year. When he gets on his bike, he is a beast fuelled by his successes, but when he takes off his racing suit, he is an exceptional guy with a complex personality, but also very tender, affectionate and sensitive."

"Until 23 October, the day I suffered a stroke, I thought of my 60s as the ideal age, when you are mature, can make the right choices, yet still feel fresh and youthful. After the 23rd, my perspective changed slightly: at this age, you enter a funnel that narrows your horizon, you see life thinning out, assuming that life continues, you make important assessments about living the relationships that matter, you no longer waste time, you prioritise the fundamental things. Yes, it's a great achievement, but I remain enthusiastic and I haven't given up hope of resuming a life full of energy, even if my legs are a little weak."

"Becoming a father at an advanced age, as happened to me, was a choice made out of love and not an act of selfishness: having a partner who is much younger than me, I know that Stella is in good hands and that makes me feel better about the concerns related to my age.

"In theory, I am in the worst possible condition to host an entertaining game show [L'Eredità], but my desire to play and to entertain the contestants and the audience at home overcomes any physical obstacle, and I find myself joking and bantering with them in a way I never did before: paradoxically, my illness has become an added value, an enrichment in my work."

"Interviewer: What do you think when I say the word "tomorrow"? Cardinaletti: It's a bit like saying ‘what's around the corner’, to quote a master. I've often thought about it: around the corner for me there's a restaurant. Tomorrow, maybe a new adventure."

"When I was a child, I always spent my holidays in Senigallia, where we moved in the summer. I have vivid memories of that time. My paternal grandmother, the loudspeaker that started broadcasting at 11 a.m. and 5 p.m., which was the signal for us children that we could go swimming, and evening walks along the seafront. It was a holiday resort, not a holiday. It was a time of great freedom."

"(About Cardinaletti's reaction when she was offered the job of presenting La Domenica Sportiva) What did I do when I found out?

But I also spent my entire adolescence in the myth of Leonardo DiCaprio."
