“[On Roberto Saviano] There was a communiqué, an expression of solidarity from the journalists' union... Okay, we agree with it perfectly, but well, it seems to me that... It's better to move on [...] It's not that I'm mad at Saviano, I'm just saying that Saviano proposes a lot, in short, right? That is, there is a film, a book, a book that sells, the rights to the film that also bring home a lot of good money... In short, it's fine... in short, he is escorted; I could tell him better because I've been living as an escort for a longer time, but I'm not going to tell him why I'm escorted.”

“[Dear Emilio, I would like your opinion on my belief. Mentana is doing excellent ratings with its new TG LA7. But is it really new? It seems to me that he is using the Fede method with the difference that he has the newspapers and the left aside, Fede maybe not. Mentana makes a good newspaper at Emilio Fede but we all had references. No one is born learned. Then Mentana is good and by the way he started with me. I didn't hire him but he started with me because when I was director of TG1 I entrusted him with the 6:30 p.m. edition.”

Intervene and beat them up, because they [the university students protesting in the Senate] only understand that they are being beaten. [...] That they have been arrested is not a balance, it is good news [...] but they immediately find someone who frees them and slaps them on the cheek. [...] Everything can be changed, but violence must not be accepted.”

“But these interceptions... Today I read them for the first time, it's stuff that horrifies guaranteeism. Mind you, I am in favour of wiretapping. But when they need to find Totò Riina. Or to identify the leader of the Casalesi family. Not to understand if someone has groped someone. But do you realize? In the newspapers, entire pages of groping... From”

“[The evenings at Arcore] They were simple dinners. Immediately afterwards we went downstairs and those who wanted to danced. The magistrates misunderstood. [[Silvio Berlusconi|Berlusconi told me one evening to just look at my plate, but he only said that because he was on a diet. I have a career behind me, do you think I can confuse myself with certain people? Lele Mora, the Minetti who does the job she does [...]. Just think that one evening, when Nicole Minetti was bare-breasted, Berlusconi immediately threw a shawl at her to cover her.”

“Am I biased? How cool. Faziosi are the Santoro, the Lerner. I have been a professional journalist for 52 years, there can be no doubt about my freedom. Veltroni I've known him since I was a child, I have a very good relationship with D'Alema, Diliberto, Bertinotti, Bersani, Rutelli, Napolitano. The one I don't respect at all is Prodi. And Di Pietro: shouts and insults. I have never insulted anyone.”

“Roberto Saviano... But he is not the one who discovered the Camorra, he is not the only one who has denounced it, there are authoritative directors, there are people like magistrates who have fought it... And they're dead, he's super-protected, rightly always has to be protected, but, how to say... You can't get enough of, I mean, feeling that he's the hero, they've even offered him honorary citizenship. But of what? You don't understand, he wrote books against the Camorra like so many other people did, without making a fuss, without going on the front pages, without collecting signatures, without breaking... Ahem, I wanted to say, excuse me, without disturbing people's thinking, that you got it right. A country like ours is against organized crime. There is no need for Roberto Saviano to be there.”
