I don't want to be in a position where I'm playing roles I'm comfortable with and making money, but doing it without feeling like I'm growing.

I love both the sun and the moon, day and night. But I enjoy the day the most because I live in Rio and I can play sports.

I need to surf - surf and yoga. Whenever I'm in L.A., I go down to San Diego to surf for the weekend, and I always come back perfect.

I take a role because it makes sense to me, rationally.

I'm a spiritual person. I'm not very religious. I was raised Catholic, but I am influenced a lot by Buddhism and Hinduism.

In film, you're always using your tools, your body, your voice, your emotions, but onstage, you use them in a different way.

It's hard, the green screen; it's a different way of working.

Sometimes in Brazil, I work harder to make characters different and believable and to overcome the persona I have.

When you shoot a movie, the camera is always taking, taking, taking and not giving anything back.

Definitely as an actor, the experience you have, at least I'm talking for me, my experience as an actor is you go to the set and know what you're going to do, know your lines, you rehearse, you do your scene, you go back home. As a producer, for the first time I saw the whole picture in a completely different way.

My mom and my dad are still together, but so many of my friends who got married just a few years ago aren't. Maybe it's that we compare ourselves to our parents' generation, thinking, 'Who's still together, and are they happy?'
