"What happened is already happened and whatever happened in it, good and bad, is my life, the one that God wrote for me. Life is beautiful despite being imperfect. I believe that if it had to be this way, there is nothing that I think needs to be changed... I am happy the way I am. With my mistakes and successes, I can try to become a better human being."

"Im calm... I said I was a fan of R. Kelly and not that I would like to work with him. As for Timbaland, yes, I said that if I had the opportunity to work with him I wouldnt let it slip away, its not something Im thinking about doing at all costs, because I have my feet firmly on the ground. As for R. Kelly, Im already happy to be able to see him sing live, and whats more, the Angolans and others already give me a lot of joy, supporting me in what I do, liking it and giving me credit... Ill let life take care of the rest."

"In terms of studios, there are no longer so many limitations, but we do need good engineers. A lot of quality stuff is already being produced in Angola, a lot of good stuff. In terms of production, we are doing very well now, thank God. More and more people are producing and good singers are appearing."

"Nowadays I dont write much, just a few things and corrections... sometimes I give ideas of what I want to sing and I try to be a good interpreter, so that the message comes across with the emotion that is intended. What inspires me is always love."

"It couldnt be better... I am loved by my fans, which moves me and makes me very happy to have them. I thank the Lord up there who gave me this grace. I try to reciprocate all this affection and I thank everyone who gives me strength and believes in my potential. Thank you for everything... kisses to everyone, with much affection."
