Rooney's good but not the best in Manchester.

Occasionally, you feel like the only person able to win the match. So you take all the responsibility, you do too much, and you do something bad.

Sometimes in football you deserve to win but lose. Other times you deserve to lose or draw but you win. That is the game, and it's why I've always said you should never try to predict anything in football, especially in Europe.

When I wasn't famous, I had a lot of friends, almost all of them Italian. The racism only started when I started to play football.

I am different - if you can find another like me, then I will buy you dinner!

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

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.
