“When you win, you don’t get carried away. But if you go step by step, with confidence, you can go far.”

When I wear the national team shirt, its sole contact with my skin makes it stand on an end.

Things are neither clear nor clean in the world of football right now and many people recognise this reality.

I was, I am and I always will be a drug addict. A person who gets involved in drugs has to fight it everyday.

My mother thinks I am the best. And I was raised to always believe what my mother tells me.

What I love most about Norway is you ladies. Back home I’m used to fat and hairy women journalists.

Everybody in Argentina can remember the hand of God in the England match in the 1986 World Cup. Now, in my country, the hand of God has brought us an Argentinian pope.

Messi scores a goal and celebrates. Cristiano scores a goal and poses like he’s in a shampoo commercial.

I have 23 top players and they are all ready to put on the jersey and work on the pitch and that makes you happy and then you have peace of mind.

I certainly have an advantage over some because I can pass on so much from the World Cups I played in.

I am Maradona, who makes goals, who makes mistakes. I can take it all, I have shoulders big enough to fight with everybody.

All the people that criticised me should eat their words.

Messi I think is like me, he is the best in the world along with Ronaldinho.

Stoichkov is a great person and an exceptional player, Only if we had him at Napoli can you imagine the Stoichkov-Maradona attacking duo?

I’m not desperate but I know that some day I’ll be the coach again of some team.

Pele should go back to the museum.

Many people agree with me that many things are not clear in football these days and it is not something people who watch football deserve. The situation will be the same while football is run by people who do not understand football.

I’m not confrontational, but if someone challenges, I’m not going to back down.

To pull off any look, wear it with confidence.

Confidence allows you to progress in something you’re attempting to accomplish, whether it’s playing basketball or baseball or whether it’s trying to succeed in business.

One of the best things that ever happened to me is that I’m a woman. That is the way all females should feel.

To all the girls that think you’re fat because you’re not a size zero, you’re the beautiful one, it’s society who’s ugly.

If I cannot do great things, I can do small things in a great way.

Truly believe that you are meant to live an inspired life.⁠

The universe and the light of the stars come through me.
