I will never reject an autograph, hug or photo. I was also a fan of football.

I prefer other people to make judgments about the way I play and to characterize me, rather me describe myself.

I've always had a sense of responsibility, whether I've been captain or not. But I must say that I'm both pleased and proud to be Portugal captain, despite how young I am, because I know what it means. My job is still the same though. I need to do what I do best out on the pitch, and that's score goals and help my team win.

I know I'm a good professional, I know that no one's harder on me than myself and that's never going to change, under any circumstances.

I have a few tricks and dribbles which I use a lot and when I am playing well, it is natural that they become easier. But the tricks I use are the ones that will hopefully benefit the team. What I do as an individual player is only important if it helps the team to win. That is the most important thing.

Some fans keep booing and whistling at me because I'm handsome, rich and a great player. They envy me.

It's very important for me to be distinguished in my own home.
