To play in atmospheres that are intense is when I play my best football.

They say that abandonment is a wound that never heals. I say only that an abandoned child never forgets.

When people talk about my business, my life, I'm really private. Maybe someone thinks I'm arrogant or something, but it's just me.

I have my life, my world. I do what I want, without annoying anyone.

The talent God gave me is beautiful and wonderful, but it is difficult because you are always facing other people keen to judge you. There are few people with such talent, so there are few able to judge what I am doing.

If I buy a Fiat Uno, I'll read that, for a man like me, a Ferrari was more suitable. If instead I buy a Ferrari, they'll write that I should have kept my feet on the ground and bought a Fiat. If I smile, I'm not serious. If I don't smile, I'm a rich sulker that doesn't enjoy having the most beautiful job in the world.

It surprises me how much children like me, you know? If they look at me as an example, I have a big responsibility.
