Parking is a nightmare for me... I still have sensors on my car that help me park.

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

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

I miss the anonymity that comes with New York because everyone around you is so immersed in their own journey.

I think escapism is really important.

When I was really young. My sister and I would create different characters with our Barbie dolls - I'd be the crazy diva Barbie and she'd be the homeless Barbie.

I will not go on a blind date.

Women always want to be what they're not: If you're the pretty girl, you want to be the quirky girl. If you're the smart girl, you want to be the pretty girl.

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.

No book is written

Comedy is tragedy plus time.

Order is Heaven's first law.

Just because you believe in something does not mean that it is true.

But I read comic books. I read things like Richie Rich and Little Lulu.

Character is who you are when no one is looking.

Make sure you meet the right people, people who know that industry and are willing to help you. Do your homework - read books about the industry, talk to people. If you don't know something, ask.

Nothing is going to happen to you if you throw salt on the floor, stand under a ladder, or see eight black cats on the street.

What television has done is it's given me a stepping stone to get to some other countries and really wild destinations throughout this world, which perhaps I would have had to struggle to get to.

There's no twilight in the tropics. Night falls like a curtain.
