Mourinho is the best coach in the history of football.

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.

People who know me, love me. People who don't know me love me too... or they hate me.

I sent my Christmas wishes to him, but he didn't answer. He's the world's best coach, but as a man he still has to learn manners and respect.

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

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.

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.

When I score I don't celebrate, its my job, does a postman celebrate when he delivers post?

You can't delete racism. It's like a cigarette. You can't stop smoking if you don't want to, and you can't stop racism if people don't want to. But I'll do everything I can to help.

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.

Don't stress over being yourself. The act of being yourself is simply to be. Be without changing yourself for others. Simply be.

I'm single because I was born that way.

The purpose of life is to seek harmony.

The ideas of the ruling class are in every epoch the ruling ideas, i.e., the class which is the ruling material force of society, is at the same time its ruling intellectual force.

Being young, and having your mom come to school with the laced-up hats and the crazy outfits are definitely moments to remember.

The dead-enders are still with us, those remnants of the defeated regimes who'll go on fighting long after their cause is lost.

I think we want to be around people that kind of push us and inspire us and maybe teach us.

I kept my culture. I kept the music of my roots. Through my music I became this voice and image of Africa and the people without even realising.

We obviously need the truth. We're living in a country of lies.

These are the days of miracle and wonder.
