I am passionate about music - and people think because I go to places where I can enjoy music I have to be partying. It isn't true.

When I got to the senior national team, there was another Ronaldo, so they started calling me Ronaldinho because I was younger.

It was lovely to receive the affection from some of the supporters of our biggest rival, ... It doesn't happen to you very often in your career.

Paolo Maldini and John Terry are two of the toughest men I have met on the field.

I had the chance to play for a lot of different teams in the Premier League, but I think all the choices I made were the right ones. I could name a lot - with Gremio, PSG, Barcelona, Milan, Flemengo Mineiro. I was lucky enough to score a few goals, and they were all beautiful.

My heroes were always soccer players.

I am ugly but what I do have is charm.
