Everybody likes Brazil and we want the Brazilians to come out.

Brazil is not what you see but what you feel. Once you spend time here - a week, two weeks - you get in the vibe. It's really intoxicating.

I'm like half Brazilian and half American now.

The World Cup needs a brilliant Brazilian team.

I'm like any Brazilian: I like to go out and enjoy myself.

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

This was an important part of my life. But it was also sad that we didn't play there, cause we had such alot of fans that were waiting for us and Brazilians are great people. It's now my second home.

My connection with Brazil is so abstract. My blood and my way of thinking is Brazilian, but that's it. I don't tend to go back to the past, and although I have an apartment there, I rarely visit. When I move, I really move.

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.
