America is a great country. I've been in the south, in the center and in the north. I like it. Americans are very good people. There's just too much air-conditioning.

My public image is absolutely not a fair reflection of who I am.

I don't celebrate because I'm only doing my job. When a postman delivers letters, does he celebrate?

There's only one that is a little stronger than me: Messi. All the others are behind me.

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 don't follow politics; it doesn't interest me. So why should I vote?

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