- [on Planeta Xuxa (1998)'s reruns after a strong fan demand] I'm still that objective and honest. But we all grow older and mature.
- [on the "paquita" contestants in Xou da Xuxa (1988)] Some [girls] come here acting as "good girls" because they know I'm keeping an eye on them. I don't want "good people" around me. I just want the competent ones.
- [about Xuxa ] She is the biggest baby monitor that ever was.
- I can't just talk about television. I like to make it. This more bureaucratic thing is not for me.
- Bikes and TV shows are the only two things I can give a direction.
- People can say I was always too harsh, but, no regrets. And I was, actually. All the [former] Paquitas now thank me for the discipline they took from me... Talent has got to me administrated, directed. Without it, it's just about the looks.
- Quite a contradiction, me, a total brutes, making any friends. But I have a lot of friends.
- [when being confronted by Xuxa, to whom Mattos allegedly said she hated children] If I really said that, I wanted to piss you off. I've never hated kids. I was exhausted; Not tired, but exhausted under all that work. If I really said all that, I regret. But we can't go back. Water doesn't flow back to a river.
