I grew up conservative because my mum was a conservative, and when I finally realized what conservatives were, I changed my mind immediately. As children, we tend to copy our parents.

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 have a much better relationship with the press than I did, I think because I stood my ground.

I have no one to leave the money to. I'm a single man. I like spending my money.

The worst thing you can do to a child, and I've seen it happen so many times, is the silver spoon.
