When I was a kid, like four or five years old, I was obsessed with the 'Batman' TV show in the '60s. And I took it totally seriously. At that age, I took it completely seriously.

Television is the same as the telephone, and the same as the World Wide Web for that matter.

For me, being Italian, I love pizza. Particularly from Naples. I am obsessed.
If you want to lose weight, you have to be obsessed with it. You can't depend upon your dietician, your trainer or various health aids that you have. You have to be organised.

Not obsessed with particularly Nike, but sneakers in general. I love them.
