["Aquarius"] it had a bit of a rocky arrival in cinemas because we were given the 18+ rating, which did not make any sense in terms of the Brazilian rating system for a film like this.

It's a great role for any age. Any actress wishes they would find a screenplay that means as much to them as "Aquarius" meant to me, as a person and a citizen.

The only thing I know is that we came from the stars, and that we have the same material as the stars. That's all that I know. Everything else I don't know.

I grew up in a very open-minded family. My father died when I was very little, so my mother was really, really incredibly busy trying to provide for us.

We can bring to characters dark and bright sides that nobody even dreams about.

I have two kids now and through watching them, I keep having flashbacks to my own childhood.

I think of a movie as a human body. You can feel the pump of the heart and the blood going through the veins when you watch that scene.

You can keep yourself alive. That's the magic of being an actor.

Women at my age they are making love, they are feeling sensual, they flirt, they have boyfriends, they have a sexual life. They are just not being represented in the movies.

It makes sense that somebody told you that you made the film from your perspective as a father.

I'm not saying that we need more stories about people of a certain age, we just need more great stories about people.

You are perfect and have no synonym

My father, good or bad, mistakes or no, had a direct line from his heart to the music to the people, to the audience. He played with logic and his own inner truth.

When you are shooting action, there is a satisfying thing because your objectives are very clear.

Men will argue more philosophically about the human heart; but women will read the heart of man better than they.

The ability to understand people is a choice.

When you pay attention to boredom it gets unbelievably interesting.

You consider war to be inevitable? Very good. Let everyone who advocates war be enrolled in a special regiment of advance-guards, for the front of every storm, of every attack, to lead them all!

Friendship is a serious affection; the most sublime of all affections, because it is founded on principle, and cemented by time.

Praises for our past triumphs are as feathers to a dead bird.

The world is weary of the past, Oh, might it die or rest at last!
