Quote

I defend my players and coaches.

A lot of fighters come from Brazil. We've been doing this for long, long years.

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.

My job is all about defending the people that I play.

We have a lot of Brazilians in the United States. It doesn't mean we're traitors to our country.

I will stand strong to defend people even if I don't agree with them.

I'm like half Brazilian and half American now.

When I was a footballer, I surrounded myself with footballers. We were all friends. But in Brasilia you don't know who your friends are. It can be a dangerous place.

I will protect all Colombians regardless of whether the attacks come from guerrillas or paramilitaries.

Brazil is on my side.
