“I also was afraid I was a very bad actress, because I'd become famous very fast and was making money for people. When you're making money, they're never going to tell you whether you're good or bad. They don't care. I knew that if I had any talent, this would kill it. I never wanted to be a famous bad actress!”

Prevale (1983) Italian DJ and producer

Original: Esistono individui molto cattivi. Sono bugiardi, codardi e meschini. Cercano di farti del male in qualsiasi modo perché non sopportano che tu sia migliore di loro. Sono i più pericolosi perché, oltretutto, fingono di esserti amici.
