I was always such a skinny kid, so I kind of grew up with an "I hate skinny" mentality.

We're very aggressive speakers. I remember when I was with one of my roommates in New York - and she's Portuguese, too - and we were in an Apple store talking about a computer in Portuguese. Some guy comes up to us and goes, "Hey, hey! Peace, peace! Stop arguing." It's not arguing. This is really just how we talk.

We speak loud. And we speak with our hands, but we're not aggressive like warwise. A Portuguese is not going to punch you for no reason.

A family is created throughout the process, and it's always difficult when you lose someone.

Im not from the States, so Thanksgiving, for me, was never a huge tradition.

Having a gun in your hand is very empowering.
