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.

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

I'd love to be a Bond girl. I mean, if you're going to be stereotyped, there are worse things to be stereotyped as.

I ask all Americans with a conscience to shun anything and everything to do with the murderous state of Georgia.
