“How wonderful it is to celebrate a 27 years career! When you moved from basket ball to music, the world of sports lost a great player, but music won a great singer. You transmit good vibrations, a wonderful energy on the stage.”Simone Bittencourt de Oliveira Hebe Camargo
“Music for me is like a balsam. I always whish that when people are watching me or listening to me, they take with them this energy I receive from God.”Simone Bittencourt de Oliveira Rede Globo, 1995
“I think an interpreter has to sing everything, to sing what wants to sing. It cannot be with that foolishness, that here in Brazil we face this thing that when one records a song, later no one can rerecord it. This is madness, absurd. Music doesn't have an owner, the music doesn´t belong to anyone.- Comment on the excessive protectionism of composers in Brazil. Domingão do Faustão Program, Rede Globo, 2003”Simone Bittencourt de Oliveira
