I'm Valentino Rossi. And I want to be a person, not an icon.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I love to do glamorous things, like wear Valentino.
I want to be like the patron saint of reality.
I am an actress, a producer, a philanthropist, a wife, and above all a mommy to my beautiful babies, Leonardo and Valentino.
I really don't want to be known as a fashionista. I'd like to be someone more than that.
I'm a gypsy: no education, no schooling, nothing. I don't care what people think of me. I don't care about being a hero, a role model, a champion.
I don't like being famous - it is like a prison. And driving for Ferrari would make it far worse.
I don't want to be known as a sex symbol. There's a great stigma that goes with that tag. I want to be a Sam Elliott.
I want to be an icon.
My goal is to be a racer, and I want to be someone who inspires Americans to watch Formula One.
I hope people will say, 'Mr. Valentino, he did something for fashion, no?'
