I knew who I was as a girl but I had to find who I was as a woman.

I don't think I've ever been moulded but I think I am always learning.

I used to get stressed out, but my cancer has put everything into perspective.

Anybody who has gone through a life-changing experience will tell you there is a different understanding of what is real and what is important, and when you are going through different moments, you can reflect and go, 'I have been through worse.'

I am a family man, and I have to find my priorities. During the season, it is to race. During the off-season, it is to spend time with my family.

You have to defend your honor. And your family.

It was totally different. I am living in Sao Paulo and then I'm in Ukraine living in a small city called Donetsk. There's the weather, the language. I went there with my family. That helped a little bit and I ended up staying there for five-and-a-half years. It was important there that I had so many Brazilian players.

I like girls who want to get up and dance and don't mind singing in front of my family - you know, silly stuff. Some girls won't eat in front of boys or won't go bowling. They just want to go out and look pretty. I don't really get that. I want someone who is up for having a good time.
