“I admire a person who, for the love of art, is able to take off their clothes in front of a camera. But I’m not capable, I’m too cowardly for that.”

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.

I remember the first time I saw the ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ video.

I just don’t find marriage a necessary step in a couple’s life.

I feel like I’m on an anthropological mission.

I feel like there is a part of me that represents a minority in the U.S., a minority around the world. People who struggle, people who want to succeed with drive and ambition.

Gerard is just like me, but two meters tall. We’re very alike; it’s not for nothing that we were born on the same day, it’s just that he was born 10 years later… he’s a happy guy, healthy here, in the head.

My videos represent the artist in me very well, but not the kind of woman I am.

Not being able to govern events, I govern myself.

There’s one major difference between James Bond and me. He is able to sort out problems!

I always wanted to be able to show off like the guitar players do. I think I managed that alright!

We wouldn’t be able to survive. We would have a hard time surviving if we were transported to the time when dinosaurs were around.

I lived the true American dream, because I was able to pursue what I set as my goals at a very young age.

If we could magically transport ourselves back to the young Earth, when it was only a billion years old or two billion years old or three billion years old or four billion years old.

I’m still a horse that can run. I may not be able to win the Derby, but what do you do when you retire? People retire and they vegetate. They go away and they dry up.

The world henceforth will be run by synthesizers, people able to put together the right information at the right time, think critically about it, and make important choices wisely.
