“I was a kid who only played football barefoot on the streets of Sao Go...” — Vinicius Junior Quote

I was a kid who only played football barefoot on the streets of Sao Goncalo, close to poverty and crime.

Since I started to play football, I have been very focused. Even when I only won a soft drink after the street game, I was focused. Now that I sustain my family with this, I have to invest even more in it.

I play in Spain, where I suffered a lot and still suffer sometimes, but of course less and less with the help of all the clubs and all the people who are doing everything possible to combat racism.

I don't think about the chances I score, but I do think now after the game when I fail. I'm working every day to score more goals.

I think the perception of me can be, you know, confused. But that's only because people only see that side of me when I'm at work, in front of the camera. So they don't see Miranda at home; they don't see behind the scenes. They see the glamour of it all but they don't see Miranda standing barefoot in a dirty old house.

I've lived in the Hamptons since 1978, when I first bought my store Barefoot Contessa.

I used to run barefoot, wearing a frock. During the rains, I used to run on stones and puddles.

I desire to leave this world as I entered it - barefoot and broke.

When I run barefoot, I put my shoes on my hands. Running around with shoe-hands looks a little weird.
