“In the full light of day, I don’t want to think about the sunset.”

In this life, to earn your place you have to fight for it.

My therapist taught me why I behave in certain ways and not to feel so pressured.

I am a person who has many dreams. But as soon as I accomplish one, I move on to the next. That’s my fatal, absurd nature. Human beings are slaves to our dreams, and I am, too. Now I think I just want to share my musical proposal in its entire form.

I always knew that I was tremendously creative. I recited love poems, I wrote stories and I got excellent grades in every subject, except for maths.

I’m a closet nerd. I love to study history and visit museums.

Success happened little by little for me. I tasted the flavor of fame in small doses: I started at 10 years old when I won a music contest; I was performing at birthday parties, company meetings.

I adore my dad. He’s a 78-year-old man and my inspiration.

My team and I have reunited two elements that coexist with difficulty: respect and affection, because when they love you they don’t respect you and when they respect you they don’t love you.

Brazil is a country I hold very dearly. I’ve got followers there who I’ve been interacting with for years, as well as fellow artists like Ivete Sangalo, and it also has huge figures like Pele.

I can take the spotlight that shines on me and shift it towards those issues that are infinitely more important than my own issues.

My body feels like it is asking to reproduce.

I pefer an ugly truth to a pretty lie. If someone is telling me the truth that is when I will give my heart.

My brain, I believe, is the most beautiful part of my body.

What happens is once you start to understand football, you realise that it’s not just about the physical side of the game and chasing after a ball. It’s a strategic sport which requires a lot of intelligence. It’s a very mental game.

When you feel complete, you don’t need to get married, and you don’t think about it.

It’s not easy to work with me, I recognize that. It’s not easy if those people aren’t as perfectionistic as I am.

Day by day, case by case, the Supreme Court is busy designing a Constitution for a country I do not recognize.

In life, one has a choice to take one of two paths: to wait for some special day-or to celebrate each special day.

I seemed to vow to myself that some day I would go to the region of ice and snow and go on and on till I came to one of the poles of the earth, the end of the axis upon which this great round ball turns.

On this day, when we’re celebrating our constitutional heritage, I urge you to be faithful to that heritage – to impose on our fellow citizens only the restrictions that are there in the Constitution, not invent new ones, not to invent the right because it’s a good idea.

I worked hard, day after day, evening upon evening, trying to impress others I’d forgotten I impressed myself.

I believe one thing: that today is yesterday and tomorrow is today and you can’t stop.

I thought a time would come when people would rout me out of Ars with sticks, when the Bishop would suspend me, and I should end my days in prison. I see, however, that I am not worthy of such a grace.

Half an hour’s meditation each day is essential, except when you are busy. Then a full hour is needed.
