I play with passion and fire. I have to accept that sometimes this fire does harm.

An artist is someone with the gift to light up a dark room.

I don't think we can be entirely happy seeing such misery around us.

I like to stay at home and make cinema in my head.

If someone is too perfect they won't look good. Imperfection is important.

Often there are players who have only football as a way of expressing themselves and never develop other interests. And when they no longer play football, they no longer do anything; they no longer exist, or rather they have the sensation of no longer existing.

I am very mistrustful of people who are constantly over intellectualising things. It kills passion. You have to allow yourself to lose control from time to time.
