I would be ready to become a dad if I was with the right person. I'd like a boy, though. Because they're in charge.

Is instinct in the head or in the heart? Off the field, I follow my good instincts which steer me in the right direction. Sometimes on the field my head leads me astray. That's what I believe.

I will not accept racism at all. It's unacceptable. If someone throws a banana at me in the street, I will go to jail, because I will kill them.

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

I am proud to be Italian because I was born in Italy, I grew up in Italy, I went to school in Italy and I have worked in Italy. I'm Italian.

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

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.
