- Television is boring on Sundays, that's just for those who lack money or whatever to do. I work on Sundays because of that. Sundays are just boring. To those who can trip or go anywhere, Sundays are great.
- Soaps are terrible, I don't see them. By the way, if I had to watch TV I should be paid twice my salary.
- I think Big Brother Brazil (2002) is something awful for television, it makes the audience thinks people who work on the biz live on nothing but the binge.
- [on succeeding in being on air for more than two decades] Some make shows for their own ego. I'm intermediary.
- My taste in music is not what I present [in Domingão do Faustão (1989)]. I do it for the audience, not for me.
