I do go back to Brazil once a year. I miss my family.

I don't listen to music when designing. We create in silence. I go through a torturous process because everything has to be precise and right.

I wanted to be involved with fashion, though I didn't know what being a designer meant.

My resolution is to make positivity, thankfulness and happiness my new mantra.

I hope the average woman feels she needs practicality but with a little bit of fantasy. Otherwise it's just not fashion.

I don't care much about my personal record. I just want to be able to pitch in the playoffs.

It's not a question of money anymore. I spend money like it's nothing. You know, I could be penniless tomorrow, but I'd get back, somehow.

People often ask me why don't you have a girlfriend. Then I smile and say: I have thousands some just haven't met me yet

When I’ve been unsuccessful, I’ve been controlled. When I’ve been successful, I’ve been in control.

You're used to a TV show, and TV is just made for TV shows. It's not made for live events.So anyways, I was resistant to it, but I did it anyway.

Although there has always been a hermeneutic problem in Christianity, the hermeneutic question today seems to us a new one.
