00:00I wanted her so much and I couldn't in the first five years I was searching for her.
00:05It was very tough for me to be a mother.
00:06She was the gift of my life.
00:08This is why we breathe.
00:09Am I a good mother?
00:11Am I enough for her, for my daughter Paola?
00:16I feel more pressure to be a perfect singer than a perfect mother.
00:21Probably because my daughter doesn't want me to be perfect.
00:25And this is the privilege.
00:27She's more mature than me when I was her age.
00:30She understood immediately about my job and about how heavy it can be for us as a family
00:39and for her as a daughter to have a mother like me.
00:42For example, for the Golden Globes, I didn't want to go in Los Angeles because at that time,
00:47during the COVID, they didn't allow me to travel with her because
00:51children were not able to travel in America from Italy.
00:56She said to me, are you crazy?
00:58Do you don't want to go to the Golden Globes?
01:00I'm going to stay here with grandma and grandpa and then you go and you better go there and show
01:07who you are.
01:09So imagine how lucky I am to have a girl like this.
01:14And I hope she will be a happy person, first of all, and she will always find protection in me.
01:23On the web, the most searched word of 2025 was violence.
01:30It scares me a lot, but in the same time, I feel that the word love always wins on everything.
01:38So I will try to teach her that she has to fight for this, not hate someone or give pain
01:45to someone.
01:46When I became a mother, I discovered why I was born, why I'm breathing every day.
01:52And when I see her face every day, even sometimes she's really upset or really not very nice,
01:59like every teenager girl is.
02:03But every time I met her face, I know I have to find a way to smile or to continue
02:09and to find a new dream, even though the dream will be a small one.
02:14So she's the reason of everything.
02:17My daughter's taking care of me, actually.
02:19She's the one who gave me tips about creams, makeup, hair styling, looks, music to listen,
02:28music to do and everything.
02:30You know, she's an expert of everything.
02:33And so I try to teach her that to take care of someone is not the way they look.
02:39but the way they are inside.
02:41And if you find the light inside, then you can shine outside too.
