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

Even if I don't always behave as I should, this still doesn't explain why so many people have something against me. But you know how it is. A lot of people vent themselves by coming to the stadium to yell at me. I hope it's not racism. I tell myself that it's not racism; it's because I'm tough, and I repeat this to myself.

I know I have a responsibility as a role model to children and I try to fulfill that.

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

I believe I am more intelligent than the average person.

Rooney's good but not the best in Manchester.

I can win the Ballon d'Or, but only if Messi's level drops a bit. It will be very complicated to do so if he keeps up his current form. I really believe I can win the award, but there's not much I can do if Messi maintains this level.
