- [on the character of Rochanna, a drag queen, in O Casamento de Gorete (2014)] Our director [Paulo Vespúcio] brought several inspirational stuff in addition to the ones I already had such as Rogéria, which I consider a diva. (...) But I find Rochanna a bit more trashy, not like a diva.
- [on Marcelo Novaes] My partnership with Marcelo is eternal.
- I got really touched by the children's purity. I cried the whole episode, taking care of those kids and then a boy with Down syndrome spotted me and I spotted him and he said, "I love you". Then I cried so hard.
- [on her time as a "paquita" in Xou da Xuxa (1988)] I don't miss that, but I still feel really happy about that. I crack up laughing whith my memories alongside those girls and Xuxa herself. We have lots of fun talking, because this memories are so delightful. Those were good times, but they're gone.
- [on O Casamento de Gorete (2014)] The film's main purpose is to entertain people because it's a comedy, but it also deals with prejudice in a general way. So through comedy we expect to touch this people.
