I became the first Brazilian women to win a UFC title. That is huge.
My favourite football memory is the opening match of France '98, and unfortunately Scotland had drawn Brazil.
I want to go back to Brazil, get married, have lots of kids, and just be a couch tomato.
I was focusing on sax while at Berklee, but then I started to play Brazilian choro and Colombian music. I was doing more folkloric stuff on the clarinet because it works better. Finally, I realized I was working more on the clarinet than the saxophone, and I started to feel more comfortable on it.
I definitely see myself as an international musician. When I play, I respect the source of the music, whether it's Cuban, Brazilian or Israeli. I try to bring that to all of the music I play. Music has no borders and no flags.
With cab drivers, I always say I'm from Brazil. I don't say I'm from Israel. It's happened more than once that someone is blaming me for the government's policy. And I say, 'Listen, I live here. I'm a musician. I don't call the shots.'
I like to listen to African music; I like to listen to Brazilian music that's not just Choro. I love to listen to Radiohead, I like to listen to James Brown - any music.
God bless Neymar because this boy has changed the lives of kids in Brazil. A lot of children watch him, believe they can be the next Neymar. Sometimes, you have a great opportunity to change and impact the lives of kids.
I was really disappointed with the lack of respect from the UFC towards Brazilian athletes.
I thought I would be an overnight star when I had a hit record in Brazil with my first album - but things didn't work out quite like that.
