My first word for the people of Brazil is the word 'confidence.' Confidence in the values that form the character of our people, the vitality of our democracy.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
What most surprises me about Brazil is the extent of the difficulties that we create for ourselves. We create a lot of legislation to control the Brazilian state itself, that this ends up meaning that things don't go with the speed any head of government would like.
I am a writer who has written about the life of my people, the character of my people. What I can say is that the greatest hero of the Brazilian novel is the Brazilian people.
Brazil is a country that has rich people, as you have in New York City, as you have in Berlin or in London. But we also have poor people like in Bangladesh or in African suburbs.
Brazil is where I belong, the place that feels like home. They love their family, their country and God, and are not afraid to let anybody know it.
The Brazilians are amazing in their nature. You cannot describe it; you must feel that warmth when you're around them to understand.
They have a joy for life in Brazil unlike any country I've ever seen.

My mother is a proud Brazilian. I love visiting my family in Rio; the city and its people are so vibrant and amazing.
My father always said that Brazil is the place to 'make America,' and by 'make America' he meant the place to grow - to prosper.
I'm a product of a military dictatorship. Under a dictatorship, you cannot trust information or dispense it freely because of censorship. So Brazilians become very flexible in the use of metaphors. They learn to communicate with double meanings.
