At Barca we trained every day with the ball. I hardly even took a step running without a ball at my feet.

You have to fight to reach your dream. You have to sacrifice and work hard for it.

The best decisions aren't made with your mind, but with your Instinct.

I don't need the best hairstyle or the best body. Just give me a ball at my feet and I'll show you what I can do.

What I do is play soccer, which is what I like.

You can overcome anything, if and only if you love something enough

Barcelona is my home and I hope that I stay here for many years.

My ambition is always to get better and better.

There are more important things in life than winning or losing a game.

The day you think there is no improvements to be made is a sad one for any player.

You cannot allow your desire to be a winner to be diminished by achieving success before and I believe there is room for improvement in every sportsman.

It is good to exercise patience. But never let your patience be the type that will keep you refrained from acting.

My birth was a blessing. Sent to live and die on Earth; it's a blessing. We each have a star; all you have to do is find it. Once you do, everyone sees it, you won't be blinded.

Prices in Italy are only slightly lower than in France, which means that Italy is a very expensive country for everyone, natives, visitors and tourists.

We found ourselves in a hole that I didn't dig, but I have dug, dug and dug to try to get out of that hole.

The mind, like any muscle, must be exercised.

It is when their age of passions is past that great men produce their masterpieces, just as it is after volcanic eruptions that the soil is most fertile.

Somebody out there was trying to use my language and trying to speak for me. Rather than have that happen, I thought I'd do it myself. It's a fun thing. It's a way for fans to connect.

I never won anything without hard labor and the exercise of my best judgment.

The old horse is coming back in a high lope. Thousands of people are riding a horse today that five years ago couldn't sit in a Ford with all the doors locked.
