“It’s a long story. There’s so much to say that I don’t know where to begin. There are many aspects to my story, from my birth and right to the present day. I’m actually a very famous person—in Brazil. I was an extremely wealthy man. And then I lost everything. Overnight. Bing! Just like that. Then I went to Brazil and I was taken advantage of. Not that I’m stupid; I’m a highly intelligent man. Not that I’m complimenting myself because self-praise is no praise. On the other hand, there’s a stupid side to me. Many people there took advantage of me. Despite that, I love Brazil. It’s a marvelous country. The people are marvelous people. They know how to live. They have a zest for life. They can have 50 cents in their pocket, and they are happy as a pig in shit.”
