I’ve inherited my father’s sense of reality and my mother’s artistic spirit, a bohemian way of seeing life. I always thought this was a nice mix

The best piece of advice I’ve ever been given is to take expectations out of…pretty much every thing. When you take out expectations you push regardless, you love regardless, you do you best you can and whatever it brings is amazing and if it doesn’t bring anything…you don’t suffer.

I love learning from people who are older than me, who have had more experience. I have many mentors, one of which in fact is Vinicius de Cavalho, whose guest edited this magazine (laughs), he’s studied more than me and knows more and is always a pleasure to listen to.

I believe that the world is changing for the better. Despite all the bad things in politics, what and how people share information is changing, views on politicians are changing. I feel we are going into a more positive and equal place.

Politicians scare me, as does fake news and everything that sabotages people’s inclination to hope for and build a better world. Politicians who get paid to create a better society, and we need to be able to trust them but they make it very difficult.

What I most love about London is that you can work hard, progress, conquer your dreams and create a rich life for yourself. You can meet amazing people randomly. It’s one of the most social cities I’ve been in. You can meet someone exciting at any point.

My favourite word is ravishing. I love the sound of it.

The British and Brazilians are very different, but both have a sense of community, respond really well to working in a team and see the value of ‘we’ and not only ‘me’

I believe in hard work and in treating people nicely… and loyalty.

What most upsets me is when I see something unfair done to somebody vulnerable.

I have no regrets and would only go back in time to do every all over again.
