  1. I like books that tell the story of 'how we used to be', that tell the story of the years when I was a poor child, like all Italians.

  2. I invented the talk show, not Costanzo: it was 1969, Speciale per voi. I made the first nostalgia programme: Cari amici vicini e lontani. They thought I was mad.

  3. (About Roberto Saviano) He shows that a different kind of TV is possible. He presented his truth. Of course, it's 'his', some will object.
