Quotes
“My first memories [of being on a set] are from Record TV, which is the TV channel here in Brazil where I started when I was three years old. I remember getting onstage and staring at the cameras, and I was like, “Okay, this is a little bit scary, but I’m comfortable somehow.” I remember the crowd because they were loud and playful. And I felt somehow that this place was my home.”
“When I was really, really young, like two years old, I used to watch TV with my family and I would love to see the kids dressed up in costumes, dancing and singing. That’s what I wanted to do.”
“Every time I feel sick, or I have anything going on, and I get on set, it’s like everything disappears and suddenly I feel better. That’s something that makes my heart really full and I’m glad to keep doing what I love.”
“I got to work with Anita and with my therapist to face that little monster. I learned how to like Anita and also how to forgive myself.”
“. I loved being a teenager and now that I’m an adult, I kind of miss those days. So I’d say enjoy your family, your friends. You’ll change schools, you’ll have new friends, and that’s going to be really positive for you.”
“Stay strong, keep up, and believe in yourself.”
“I try to live as much in the present as I can because you never know what’s going to happen tomorrow. I want to be happy and healthy, and I want my heart to be as light as it is today, and to keep on doing what I like.”
“I don’t know if I’m going to be married or have kids by 30. I just hope that I’m happy and that I get to work on a lot of different projects that I love and that I believe in.”
“Every time I travel or I go to an event, someone tells me that I’m part of their life, and that’s really nice. I get really happy that, in a way, I grew up with them.”
“My mom; she’s a huge inspiration for me. She’s been through a lot and she’s strong, she’s nice, she’s really sensitive.”
