Growing up in an Italian family, you use a harsh tone and 10 minutes later everybody forgets about it.

The military is already sexually integrated.

My job is to stay alive until the medicine and research catch up.

My job as the mother of daughters is to make sure my children see that every opportunity is available to them.

My parents themselves had a love marriage.

Marriage Asian-style is practical, contractual and, to the western mind, deeply unromantic.

It makes my life easier that I don't have to take my daughter or son to school, that I've not got to look after them because they are ill. But then, I'm not nurtured and cherished, so I will seek external love from other close relationships.

The mistake that I made was that I was engaged in a consensual relationship with a woman who was not my wife. That is a mistake for which I am very sorry.
