“At Barca, players were banned from driving their sports cars to training. I thought this was ridiculous – it was no one’s business what car I drive – so in April, before a match with Almeria, I drove my Ferrari Enzo to work. It caused a scene.”

I like being the one who makes a difference. On the pitch, I always try to create a special situation.

It was the fault of David Trezeguet, who made me do one drink of vodka after another. I slept in the bathtub. Now I hold my vodka much better.

I don’t need the Ballon d’Or to know I’m the best. It matters more to some players

If people in America would get their finances together and start taking care of each other, we could put the government out of business.

We’re operating this planet like a business in liquidation.

Storytelling is by far the most underrated skill in business.

For business, our internet love affair was a gift from the gods.

I asked Him to give me the prayers He wants me to pray and to give or withhold anything according to his plan for me. Nothing is too big to ask of Him, not even an ocean lot. It is God’s business to decide if it is good for me. It is my business to obey Him.
