An artist in my eyes, is someone who can lighten up a dark room. I have never and will never find difference between the pass from Pele to Carlos Alberto in the final of the World Cup in 1970 and the poetry of the young Rimbaud, who stretches cords from steeple to steeple and garlands from window to window. There is in each of these human manifestations an expression of beauty which touches us and gives us a feeling of eternity.

I would like to compare football and cinema. I think it's very similar. It's two games... different games. You have to work very hard and find the confidence to enjoy it on the pitch or in the film.

I know that I have a face, a look, people aren't used to seeing. A presence.

I try to find different ways of expressing myself. Without that I will die.

When you are a rich man you are proud to own a Rolls Royce and when you are a poor man you are proud to own a Renault.

Certainly take the advice of others but always, always be yourself.

A good goal is one that is important and beautiful.
