To work with somebody you love makes filming faster, more fun.

I have a huge relationship with Brazil; it's almost a love affair, I would say. And to me, to introduce that specific martial art like capoeira in Hollywood movies was something important to me.

I used to be more self-conscious about style because when you're younger, you want to exist, you want to show everything you do.

Blood, especially fake, and guns, this is bullshit. It works in the movie, but on set it doesn't work for me.

The only person standing in your way is you.

I think life is short, and you can't spend time doing things just to be on set to reassure yourself that people are not going to forget about you.

If the guy behind the camera is not good, the pictures are bad. It's still you, and it's the same lines and everything, but it doesn't work.
