Elisabetta Canalis

“I'm a bit of a tomboy, but when it comes to love I am a doormat.”

“American men are more open, they are readier to express their emotions, but they also get frightened easily. Italians are used to drama. For us, arguing, shouting is perfectly normal - for them it is inconceivable.”

“I don't always have the stomach muscles I have, and I get cellulite as well like everyone else.”

“At the end of the day I have always seen the end of my relationships as a personal failure. There is nothing ever pretty in saying goodbye.”

“Since I was a little kid, I was against fur. I never wore fur in my life.”

“I love variety in my life.”

“Sometimes when I flick through a magazine and see these thin models I'm left wondering what effect they can have on an insecure person. But I say to girls: forget what you see in the magazines, that is a world which has nothing to do with reality; think of it as a cartoon.”

“I am a firm believer in marriage. In the future I will be married.”

“I have always seen cold and controlled men as the right ones for me.”

“I'm looking for men who can give me security.”

“In the past I would self destruct when it came to love - I was immature, throwing myself into things but now times have changed, I want a relationship where you understand the other person.”

“My maternal desires are fully satisfied with my dogs.”
