# | Quote |
---|---|
1 | I don’t know if paradise or hell exists, but I’m sure hell is more groovy. |
2 | I was lonely, but I have no regrets. I have loved, cried, been mad with happiness. I have won and I have lost. |
3 | If you want “la dolce vita”, it is how you look at life. When I go back to Rome, my roses will be in bloom again. |
4 | They would like to keep up the story that [Federico Fellini] made me famous, Fellini discovered me. So many have said they discovered me. |
5 | When you’re born beautiful, it helps you start in the business. But then it becomes a handicap. |
6 | I’m very much bigger than I was, so what? It’s not really fatness, it’s development. |
7 | I’m very proud of my breasts, as every woman should be. It’s not cellular obesity, it’s womanliness. |
8 | How can I know who’s PM or in government in Sweden? It’s been 40 years since I moved abroad! Oh! |

8 | Had not lived in Sweden since the early 1950s and rarely visited the country. She had welcomed Swedish journalists in her house outside Rome, and in 2005, appeared on the radio program “Sommar”, talking about her life. She stated in an interview that she would not move back to Sweden before her death, since she would be buried there. Ekberg said that the Swedish people and media have not appreciated her sufficiently; nevertheless, her personal and radio appearances have been popular in Sweden. |
9 | In December 2011, Ekberg was destitute following three months in a hospital with a broken thigh in Rimini, during which her home was robbed of jewelry and furniture, and her villa was badly damaged in a fire. She applied for help from the Fellini Foundation, which also found itself in difficult financial straits. |
10 | On July 19, 2009, she was admitted to the San Giovanni Hospital in Rome, after falling ill in her home in Genzano, according to a medical official in its neurosurgery department. Despite her condition not being considered serious, Ekberg was put under observation in the facility. |
