[About Madonna] I disagree. Nor do I agree with the association of Madonna's name with the title of her LP Like a Virgin.
Romina Power - Corriere Magazine
From an interview by Claudio Sabelli Fioretti, Corsera Magazine, 24 February 2005
I could have had a career in cinema. It was difficult to reinvent myself as a singer. I have a weak voice. I can swing, dance, I'm a show woman, but I had to overcome my extreme shyness. My legs trembled in front of 80,000 people.
I do yoga and meditation. I'm a vegetarian and I've given up alcohol.
It's better to be the one who leaves than the one who is left.
My recurring dream, for many years now, is of a giant wave about to crash onto a beach where I am with a group of friends. I have premonitory dreams.
Romina Power: «Io e Al Bano? Mi ha insegnato a usare la maschera sott’acqua»
From an interview by Michela Proietti, corriere.it, 6 February 2015
I discovered Buddhism during my mother's illness, when I moved to the United States to care for her. It's hard to see a parent die: Buddhism was my reward, all my questions were answered. I eradicated my anger, I realized that it is a poison that I must no longer swallow. Before, I used to go to ashrams but I didn't feel like I belonged anywhere. I didn't renounce anything, Buddhism doesn't ask you to do that: when I was little and preparing for my Confirmation, I thought about becoming a nun.
My hair has always been my strong point, everyone wondered who took care of it: instead, I trimmed it myself with scissors, on new moon nights, so that it would grow back stronger and faster.
Those who eliminate animal products from their diet no longer get sick. And then meat makes you go bald.
Quotes about
Lo dico per la prima volta: il problema fu la marijuana. Romina fumava quella robaccia anche quattro volte al giorno. E lo faceva da anni, ancor prima della scomparsa di Ylenia. Era un'altra donna. Fumava ed era allegra. Finito l'effetto, si intristiva e piangeva. Era irriconoscibile. Non esprimeva più quell'attaccamento alle cose, la passione per la vita, per quello che avevamo vissuto e costruito quegli anni. Fu l'inizio della fine.
I'm saying this for the first time: the problem was marijuana. Romina smoked that stuff up to four times a day. She had been doing it for years, even before Ylenia disappeared. She was a different woman. She smoked and was cheerful. When the effect wore off, she became sad and cried. She was unrecognizable. She no longer expressed that attachment to things, that passion for life, for what we had experienced and built over those years. It was the beginning of the end.
Albano Carrisi, from an interview to Oggi, quoted in Al Bano: con Romina è finita perché fumava troppe canne, rollingstone.it, 18 May 2023.
