- I signed a lot of boobs as well. I think it's something that is becoming really normal. I don't even see any sexual meaning when someone gets boobs signed. It becomes a classic.
- Be proud of the unique human being you are. Every scar, every wrinkle, every pound you lose or put on will never change your pure essence, the way you create magic connecting with others, the way you look at life. If you really want to work on something, work on your own light and make it brighter!
- I remember the face of guys coming to the gigs when they saw a woman onstage," recalls singer Cristina Scabbia. "In the beginning, they just looked at me like, 'What is she doing up there?'
