I did a couple of movies in Brazil, and the actors were incredibly congenial and hung out together a lot. Even the biggest stars would do radio commercials – they’re not put on a pedestal like they are in the United States.
Yes, I would have wanted Messi to be born in Brazil.
I’ve not been anywhere in Central or South America before. The closest I’ve been is Cancun and Cabo in Mexico. But I think I’d love the culture, the sprit, and the energy of Brazil.
Playboy in Brazil is like a rich boy, but I’ve never been a rich boy. My family is not rich. Actually, I help all my family.
One of my favorite memories from growing up in Brazil is being in the kitchen with my family and watching everyone bake and cook.
I called out Rafael Dos Anjos in Brazil, so he could be a potential contender. People don’t talk about Jorge Masvidal enough. He’d be a great fight: he comes to fight.
I was born in Brazil and grew up in the ’70s under a climate of political distress, and I was forced to learn to communicate in a very specific way – in a sort of a semiotic black market. You couldn’t really say what you wanted to say; you had to invent ways of doing it. You didn’t trust information very much.
Out of Brazil, they’re always gonna have another Wanderlei Silva, another Minotauro, another Anderson Silva.
If Brazil depends only on Neymar there will be a problem with Brazil, not with Neymar.
When America stopped importing from China, China stopped importing from the rest of the world. This affects Asian countries as well as Australia, Brazil, and other suppliers of raw materials.
I love collard greens and sweet potatoes. But like, traveling, I’m always just looking for that thing where you feel like there’s love in the food. Like one of the best things, in Brazil it’s feijoada. I was in Tobago in the winter, and I had the best roti I’ve ever had, with curry goat.
I do go back to Brazil once a year. I miss my family.
