Everybody likes Brazil and we want the Brazilians to come out.
Alan Hansen
I played against the Brazilians in '82, who were definitely the best team never to have won the World Cup.
The World Cup needs a brilliant Brazilian team.
People used to name me the Brazilian Pistorius. Thank God I'm not the Brazilian Pistorius any more. I'm Alan.
Alan Oliveira
I have a Brazilian trainer here in New York and we do a Brazilian Butt Lift workout.
Alessandra Ambrosio
I'm an all-around fighter. I do everything. I've got wrestling; I've got Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and I've got striking.
Alistair Overeem
I became the first Brazilian women to win a UFC title. That is huge.
Amanda Nunes
You walk off the plane in Rio, and your blood temperature goes up. The feel of the wind on your face, the water on your skin, the taste of the food, the music, the sexuality; Brazilians are very comfortable in their sexuality.
Amy Irving
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.
Anat Cohen
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.
Brazil's got everything to be a great country for Brazilians and for immigrants.
Anderson Silva
I was really disappointed with the lack of respect from the UFC towards Brazilian athletes.
I was born into a Turkish family that had acquired Italian citizenship. Many members of the family subsequently became British, French, Brazilian, and German, so there was a bit of everything. It was not uncommon for people in the family to speak seven languages: English, French, Ladino, Italian, Turkish, Arabic, and even Greek.
Andre Aciman
Scoring from a dead-ball brings me massive satisfaction. It sets me up as an example for other players to follow, copy, and perhaps even emulate over the course of time. For them, I'm a Juninho Pernambucano 2.0, a Brazilian with a Brescia accent.
Andrea Pirlo
I'm Italian, but I'm also a little Brazilian: Pirlonho, if you like.
My brother was the one who really gave me the desire to follow in his footsteps. Also, it was really Ronaldinho and Ronaldo, the two Brazilian players, who also inspired me to a future in football.
Anthony Martial
I was a beach boy, and I believe I learned my songs from the birds of the Brazilian forest.
Antonio Carlos Jobim
We deliberately used elements from Brazilian music and from African and Asian music. Now people can hear that but then it sounded so abstract, they couldn't hear it.
Arto Lindsay
I use Kerastase Oleo-Relax when I get out of the shower. It saves my hair. Actually, I've been doing this Brazilian treatment to my hair. It's a lifesaver; I don't even use a straightener anymore.
Ashley Tisdale
In a film called 'Senna,' the clue is in the title, and we have a Brazilian badge on our sleeve as we were making it. We were making it from Senna's point of view, with Senna narrating it.
My greatest moment in my whole career is when I became the first non-Brazilian to win the Brazilian jiu-jitsu world championship. That was my greatest moment.
The lullabies I grew up with were usually Brazilian religious ones, and they still soothe me into sleep.
My father loved European football; he also loved the Brazilian team. His own dad loved the Brazilian team.
I am very proud to be Brazilian and more motivated than ever to demonstrate what I can do.
Most of my family doesn't speak English. It's so important for the baby. He's going to know all his American roots, but he also needs to know about his Brazilian side.
Because my hair is curly, I used to do all the straighteners, the Japanese this and the Brazilian that. And at the end of the day, your hair ends up not having a texture, not having the body - no shine. You're pretty much frying your hair. So understand the type of hair you have and do the best with what you have.
I'm like half Brazilian and half American now.
I connect with my culture through my family. I speak Portuguese to my parents so that I can practice. I stay engaged with my extended family through a lively group chat on WhatsApp. That sense of community and family is the heart of Brazilian culture, and staying engaged with my family is what keeps me connected.
When I go to Brazil, I feel like an American, and in the U.S., I always notice the traits that make me Brazilian.
I have so much appreciation for how those two cultures have created who I am. I'm a full-blooded Brazilian, with an entire extended family of Brazilians, but I was born and raised in the U.S.
I'm a Brazilian - full blood, parents born and raised, and I lived there for a little bit - but I didn't grow up there.
I'm not more Brazilian than I am American or vice-versa - I'm very much a combination of all of those things.
Usually, a Brazilian doesn't like to work hard in training, doesn't like to stay focused. I trained a lot of Brazilian players. I had a problem with Ronaldo at Milan. It was not easy to get him fit! Ronaldo was 100kg but was the quickest in the 10 metre test!
The quality of Neymar, indisputably we have to say he is the best Brazilian player. If the kid is OK, I'll tell you, it's almost impossible to stop him.
If you call a Brazilian out publicly, you're going to be fighting that Brazilian. That's in their culture.
The Brazilian circuit is very different. There are no easy fights, every gym only puts in their best guys to fight.
I've fought all these top Brazilians. They're all supporting their people, Anderson Silva, they're supporting him. Lyoto Machida, they're all supporting him. I didn't have the full support of America. Not everyone American was rooting for me because I'm from America. If they were rooting for me, it's because they were a fan of me.
Brazilian music has many of the ingredients that I strive for in my own music: Strong melodies and a disciplined but intense rhythmic concept, and interesting harmonies.
I have been fortunate to work with many great coaches and also in different countries, and I have taken a bit from all of them - Dutch, Spanish, Italian, and Brazilian football.
It's no secret that the UFC doesn't promote Brazilians.
I do a bit of Brazilian ju-jitsu when I can. I like a bit of that.
It didn't even occur to me that I'm the last person in the world who should play salsa or Brazilian music.
A World Cup would only be a true experience if I were wearing the Brazilian shirt. Otherwise, it would just be like playing for a club.
Brazil has people in some places with so difficult situations. They prefer to smile than cry because they love life. They love to be happy. That's Brazilian style.
Mixed martial arts was invented by Brazilians, whose families had been trained by the Japanese. Those Brazilians came to the U.S., where their invention was bought out, gussied up and presented to the world, which found it good.
When I came home my parents were listening to Pakistani Qawwali music, like Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, they're listening to music from Mali, like Ali Farka Toure, they're listening to Brazilian songwriters, like Gilberto Gil, to opera, to Neil Young even, things you don't hear as a kid in Caracas. I love all the music they turned me onto.
My interested in Brazilian music stemmed from wanting to find a musical identity other than the salsa and meringue that I was inundated with in Venezuela as a child.
Brazilian music has been a part of almost every record I've done, and I'd eventually like to record an entire album of Brazilian music.
I am Brazilian, and that is not going to change, but I want to win the World Cup with Spain.
