Sometimes I even amaze myself, and sometimes I do things that make me want to punch myself in the face.

I think everything happens for a reason and all the things that happened to me - good, bad - I'm glad they did. It's made me ready for life, for adulthood.

I haven't done anything yet, but I want to be the best in the world.

Sometimes I feel like my childhood has been taken away from me just a tiny bit. But if you want to achieve your goals, you have to sacrifice some things.

There are some casual fans who think you're going to dominate a game, be magic, score 10 goals. Even if you dominate a game, you'll only score two or three goals.

All I can say is, hey, if you have fun doing what you do, if you have fun playing soccer, the creativity is just going to come as time goes on.

It's awesome where I am right now. It's a lot of people's dream. I'm going to take full advantage of it.
