Brazil has a lot of issues that are similar to a lot of countries in Latin America, but the dominant issue Brazil is dealing with is poverty and political corruption.

Morena Baccarin

It took a while to find a passion for another career that was as strong as the passion that I had for football. Once I found it in acting, it was simple. Use the tools you were given from playing football and apply it to your new passion. I have done that through acting, producing and writing.

Maurice Hall

Brazil eats, sleeps and drinks football. It lives football!

Pele

I believe the reason why I fight in Brazil is because I sell a lot in Brazil.

Vitor Belfort

Football in Brazil is seen as a masculine sport, even with a lot of people accepting the female sport.

Marta

I was really shy when I was back in Brazil, so coming to Europe was very tough. I was arriving as a kid fresh from Brazil into a big team like Inter with a lot of star names.

Philippe Coutinho

Brazil was a very good experience. I learned a lot about how to play football, both technical and physical. There would be a hundred kids of all ages, training and doing classes together.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan

Looking from the outside at English football, at Spanish football, it's more interesting, and they have the champions and the celebrities that they want to see. But with the passion that Italians have for football, the pride that they have, I don't think the game will stay that way.

Gabriel Batistuta

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.

Fernandinho

I have a lot of respect for the British people and the passion which they have for football, the full stadiums.

Ivan Rakitic

What's interesting is, there's always a lot of talk to young people about finding their passion, following their passion. But I remember reading somewhere that a lot of people don't have a passion. And there's this pressure to have one. It's perfectly fine not to have one.

Michelle Pfeiffer

Brazil is a fantastic football country.

Roy Hodgson

In life you cannot accept some things, but football has given me a lot and a great passion.

Gennaro Gattuso

Football has given me a lot of great opportunities, so now I am trying to put that to good use. I have a foundation in Brazil that supports 750 children, and am hoping to do something similar in the Middle East with a soccer academy.

Cafu

Cartola is an artist from Brazil who didn't record until much later in his life, but had a big influence on a lot of famous artists down there, like Gilberto Gil. I discovered his music recently when I was in Brazil.

Jesse Harris

It's always great to fight in Brazil, especially northeast Brazil. There are a lot of tough people here. It's a tough part of the country, to fight here is amazing for me.
