I love the Italian culture - it's a beautiful culture. I love the language, the Italian people, their music, their attitudes... I just love it! Sometimes I think I'm an Italian trapped in a Spanish woman's body.

The secret is that I am Italian.

I am a proud Italian American, raised by an Italian mother and Italian grandparents.

I love places that have an incredible history. I love the Italian way of life. I love the food. I love the people. I love the attitudes of Italians.

I'm very attached to my roots, but I feel Italian more than anything else.

I like my country, but I don't think like an Italian. It's a complex, complicated difficult country to make things happen in.

I love Italy and I say I am from Italy wherever I go.

Wherever I go, I am Italian. The way I talk, the way I eat, the way femininity is important to me. The way I love Italian food.

My husband is actually Italian-American, and he thought I was Italian when he first met me.
