“I try to not take myself too seriously and just have fun when I’m not playing.”

I want to work, to be a great, to win everything.

Choose kindness over aggression.

Fashion has always been as big a part of my life as football has.

I just want to play, whether it’s on the right or the left. I give 100 per cent all the time.

There are so many things in life that make you sad, you have to be happy.

I’ve made a lot of sacrifices. When I was younger, I didn’t see my family. I’d go and train all the time, not seeing friends, leaving the country, and stuff like that.

If I play a bad game, I know I played a bad game. If I play a good game, I know I played a good game. So I don’t need anyone to tell me if I did good or bad – because I know it.

Give up? I don’t know what that means.

I play football; I do what I like.

Sometimes football can be cruel; cruel and also beautiful.

When I say I want to become a legend, some people say it’s pretentious. For me, it’s a challenge. My desire, a dream. I’m not saying I’ll get there, but it’s what I want.

Discrimination is the biggest problem in football today. We need to stop it.

Don’t look down to the world, look up to the creator.

When I was smaller, I always looked up to Zidane, Messi, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo.

Greatness, it’s all in the details.

I do not live for people, for what they think, for them to say that I’m nice, good, the best, perfect. Everyone has their opinion. And I respect that.

I like to have fun, I’m silly, and I keep the mood light.

Instead of going to the gym, I dress in black – a lot more practical and much more fun.

I like to have fun in the ring, but I knock them out.

I love children. They’re so much fun and I would have a blast spoiling them.

I love to sing, but it’s just not fun anymore.

People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing.

I like friends who are honest and loyal. They also shouldn’t be afraid to be a kid. I like having fun.

Tyga’s one of my best friends ever, so it’s so much fun to travel with him. I always like having my friends out on the road with me.
