I may have my diva moments, but I don't want to get to where I'm considered untouchable.

I come from the ghetto in Brazil, where we don't have a lot of career opportunities, so I'm sure my family and people who live there never imagined that one day I'd become a singer and be able to perform at an event like the Olympics.

An artist has to know who she is and to be consistent in building her career.

Singing in a different language is a challenge, but 'Will I See You' was so much fun to create.

I was lucky to have my wife as the art director, and it turned out to be quite something - a great success. I'm very proud of it.

Success is measured by your discipline and inner peace.

I have been playing soccer since I was about four years old. You always hope you can reach the top of the profession, that you can play in the big leagues and achieve all of the goals you hope to accomplish throughout your life.

The real metric of success isn't the size of your bank account. It's the number of lives in whom you might be able to make a positive difference.
