"I wanted to be this girl. Because she used to say that she was like an 18-year-old character in this series. She used to say that she didn't like to be just one girl. She liked to wake up and decide which girl she wanted to be. Today I want to be crazy. Tomorrow I want to be sexy. And then I want to be pretty. And then I want to be princess. And I was like, that's so cool. Because I don't want to define myself and be like, OK, I'm this. I'm so many things. I like to discover every day a new me, and I think people have the necessity of defining you and be like, oh, she is that. I like to be all." — Anitta
"I think we should always remember because sometimes-- and I think the industry does this to us-- they push us to think that we need always more, more and more and more. And I think nowadays, with the internet, it's kind of impossible for you to reach everything, everyone, every time. You got to be happy also. You got to take time for yourself also. So I think that this speech that I used to have for my life for many years, like, you can do more, never stop, never give up. I was like that. And when I was like that, I couldn't see those things that happened in my life. It would be like, OK, yeah, I'm at my right. OK, yeah. I loved it, but I couldn't look and be like, wow. Nowadays, for me, it's like, yeah, we can definitely give up. We can definitely go rest, take a nap, go to sleep. We don't need all the money in the world, you know?" — Anitta

You know, and I don't understand what's the type of insecurity or I don't know that make people live in this fake world that just pretend life is this 24/7 glam." — Anitta
