"How can I pass on my passion for cinema? It's a question that accompanies me every day in my role as a mother. I only know that it's an art that gave me wings since child-hood and that still satisfies my desire for escape"

"I was captivated by these children who keep themselves busy while their parents work in the sugarcane fields. I completely projected myself into their desire for somewhere else"

"My mother, knowing well the difficulties of the profession, told me, go for it, she let me do it and I thank her for it"

"Cinema allows me to be surrounded by different people and to spark my curiosity about all the cultures of the world. I have a fascination for languages"

"I want to tell children to never stop dreaming; cinema is a vehicle for openness that helps them grow and travel"

"I wanted this desire to strike to escape her, that it not be something calculated, to better express the moment of overflow that many people like her can feel in everyday life, that it escapes us naturally with a moment when we take in too much and we start to say things that are beyond us and that we would never have thought of doing in real life, like this strike"

"as women, we still have plenty of battles to fight, and they can always count on me"
