"Growing up, sarcasm and irony helped me overcome my shyness. My dad was a dancer at the San Carlo theatre in Naples, and as a child I loved watching him perform, but I never thought of pursuing the same career. In my opinion, Naples is “the worst most beautiful city in the world”. I find magic in its contradictions. It is a unique city, where I would choose to be reborn if I could. And I love looking at it from the sea: it is poetic."
