Caterina Valente in her own words!

My life is a dream. My whole life is a dream. A beautiful one? The most beautiful there is. Yes? Absolutely. Is it because of what happened and how it happened, or is it because of how I view it? How I view it, number one, and because of everything that has happened, because I have had so much luck in my life, and I am so grateful that I have done all of this, and I am even very proud of what I have done. There were bad things, good things, but that's the kind of life I've had. It is unique, to have had the wish fulfilled as a five-year-old to go on stage, to do it, without the parents saying, no, you won't do that, you will do this if you want it. I did that too. I still do it today. I have worked all over the world, that was my wish. I didn't want to work in just one country, because my parents visited the whole world and were famous all over the world, and that was my dream. It has been fulfilled. My dream was to work in America, it has been fulfilled. My dream was to have children, I have two boys, that has also been fulfilled. There is no more beautiful life than my life, it is a dream.
