“When you are a father, when you talk to your son or your daughter for ...” — Fernandinho Quote

When you are a father, when you talk to your son or your daughter for the first time, they don't understand you. Of course, you have patience, and you keep talking to them, and eventually they do understand.

Sometimes you get players who are faster than you or who can trick you with some skill. Sometimes you make the foul.

Willian is fantastic. It was good to be with him in Ukraine, where we won several titles together.

It's good when you score goals because you are helping your team. For yourself as well, it's good, but the most important thing is the strength of the team.

You think about past World Cups - in 2006, it was a fantastic Brazil team, but we did not do so well that year. In 2010, the same: it did not go far, either - only the quarter-finals. But in '94 and 2002, Brazil did not play the best football but won the World Cup; they found a way to win.

I couldn't be a director because I couldn't put up with the actors. I don't have the patience. Why, I'd probably kill the actors. Not to mention some of the beautiful actresses.

When we have people elected into office that believe in conversion therapy and are trying to strip trans rights in the military and do these things that are directly attacking the LGBT community, I have no patience.

I would be horrible at Twitter. I wouldn't know the answer to fans' questions half the time - and the patience involved! I couldn't imagine. I did have a Twitter account that I tried for a couple days, but found I had nothing to say.

A career in showbiz is like a distance run. You have to have patience and pace yourself.
