I’ve had long hair, I’ve had short hair, and I’ve had in between hair… and its all good.

I get nervous for any competition. I also get really competitive.

I can’t complain. I’m making a living out of what I do, which is really rare for a lot of actors. The hard part is staying confident and staying with it.

Humans have a sense of spontaneity and emotion. We have a dichotomy between grief and happiness.

The sky above us is something we have very little control of, and the space beyond is something we don’t completely understand.

I love it when you have a lull in the day and you turn on the TV and a random movie is on that you either have never seen or haven’t seen in years. Like...

I love a good road trip. And I have been known to sing cheesy ’80s songs at the top of my lungs on a windy road when no one can hear.

There are many people who live with terrorism every day.

My mom is an actress, but she never really pushed me into it, and it was never something I thought I would be doing. She was very happy I decided to, but she certainly doesn’t...

They have a joy for life in Brazil unlike any country I’ve ever seen.

I love ‘Modern Family;’ I don’t exactly watch it when it’s on, but I try to catch up on it when I can; it’s one of my favorite shows.

When I’m not working, I’m definitely a no-makeup girl. The most I ever do is a little tinted moisturizer and a little mascara and blush.

I would love to be a Bond girl. That is on my bucket list, definitely.

I’m an avid cook. Brazilian, some Italian, a little French. And I often throw dinner parties.

My mom was incredibly supportive when she found out that I wanted to be an actress, and that certainly made things easier and more fun.
