I didn't make any money in soccer, only spent money. I had offers to play in Sao Paulo, but my mother didn't let me go.

Jessica Andrade

When I signed my first contract with Sao Paulo I still wasn't sure that I was going to have a successful career. Even after you turn professional the competition is so intense, and as I was a bit older than some of the other players, I thought that it would be harder for me.

Cafu

I'd be happy to play in Sao Paulo. It would be a dream; that would be very exciting.

Diego Forlan

All the way through the youth ranks at Sao Paulo, I've always been the captain.

Casemiro

I had been to São Paulo the year before and became pretty well acquainted with the music of composer Antonio Carlos Jobim, I had already started playing that music, and the audience response had been pretty good because those songs are so melodic. I knew it would be something that would be appealing; I wasn't thinking that it would make the top of the pop charts or anything like that.

Charlie Byrd

Sao Paulo is a dump. That's a known fact.

Colby Covington

I remember my father used to wake up at 4 A.M. He woke me up as well. We would leave home together, he was going to work and I continued my walk to catch the bus. I had my training session with Sao Paulo in the morning. I had to take two buses to the point I could take the club bus.

Ederson

As far as Sao Paulo are concerned, I've never played for a club as well-structured as this.

Rivaldo

We've got clouds and rain, just like in Seattle .. but Sao Paulo is better.

Eddie Vedder

I was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and from an early age was interested in technology and engineering.

Mike Krieger

I based in Brazil, Sao Paulo, but I come very often to the states, and I travel all over the world.

Emerson Fittipaldi

I just opened a free, public MMA gym in Paraiba, so why can't Curitiba or Sao Paulo have one? No money? Someone needs to do this.

Wanderlei Silva

It's something I've been working on since I started out at Sao Paulo, and over time I've tried to improve my skills. But even when I played in the local academy, I was trying to show off some ability with my feet. I actually scored several free-kicks.

Ederson

I think the film [Aquarius] comes from that original feeling I had 18 years ago, when I was in a São Paulo supermarket. I was in line to pay for something, and when I looked up, I saw the little windows of a projection booth. That's when I realized the supermarket used to be a movie theater. They didn't even bother to change the walls. Years ago, "The Sound of Music" could've been playing in that space.
