I had to take driving lessons in New York, which were really weird because it's not the safest thing in the world.

I moved to New York when I was 10, from Rio de Janeiro. So there was no need for driving: I took the subway, cabs and the bus.

I think the play on words for 'Punky' Brewster has definitely played itself out.

Also, when you think about a show that you used to watch as a kid or as a teenager, you look at it through sort of rose colored glasses when you remember it.

I love working out, but I need my brain to be someplace else as my body does the work.

I feel like directing is an innate talent.

My dream car would be a Maserati. That would be amazing.
