“I have the chance to do for a living what I like the most in life, and that’s playing football. I can make people happy and enjoy myself at the same time.”

God gives gifts to everyone, some can write, some can dance. He gave me the skill to play football and I am making the most of it.

It doesnt change much for me really and my motivation remains the same – to create a beautiful future with Barcelona, winning many titles.

Henry is a beautiful player and has got complete technique, I adore watching him. I respect him very much as a man and as a footballer. He reminds me of myself.

I am very pleased it has all been resolved. I wanted to stay at the club and they wanted me too, there was never a problem. There were only a few small matters to sort out.

No one has nicer teeth than me. Why would anyone laugh at my lovely teeth?

No matter who you are it’s the simple things in life that lead you to believe that you can achieve anything.

The toughest opponents for me are the defenders who are tough in the way they play – where you can’t see a way through.

Brazil goes into every World Cup expecting to win – so when it is in Brazil it is expected even more. You can’t understand what the World Cup means to our country.

Ashley Cole is a fantastic defender. I have seen him keep the best players in the world quiet.

If you’re playing for five hours you don’t want to score goals all the time and I loved dribbling. I could score a goal, but I preferred to dribble.

Our confidence comes from our preparation.

I have never imagined doing anything other than football, but now, thinking about it coldly, if I hadn’t been a footballer, I would have been a musician.

I was at Barcelona for many years where I won a lot of things and achieved a lot of dreams. For these reasons it holds a special place in my life.

I would like my Dad to be alive so he could see what I am.

I am ugly but what I do have is charm.

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

I like double entendre because then the people who get it enjoy it, and the people who don’t get it don’t know about it.

It took less than half a second for me to realize that, as long as I was truly insane now, I might as well enjoy the delusions while they were pleasant.

The private sector enjoys tremendous freedom in the U.S, as it should. With freedom, however, comes responsibilities.

Yes, I tried to change the classical style in a way that people who don’t understand it can enjoy.

I think a lot of people like hidden-camera shows where they think they’re spying on somebody who doesn’t know they’re looking at them. And nobody takes it seriously – you either enjoy it and get a laugh out of the reactions or not.

We were incredibly fortunate to get to make three Batman films. That’s enough. Let’s not get greedy. It’s a torch that should be handed from one actor to another. So I enjoy looking forward to what somebody else will come up with.

The fact that God gave the whole human race the earth to use and enjoy cannot indeed in any manner serve as an objection against private possessions.

This is your life, Larry. Learn to enjoy what you’ve got.
