“When I got the red card all the Chelsea players come around. It felt like I had a lot of babies around me.”

It’s true I don’t know that much about Ligue 1, but Ligue 1 knows who I am.

Only God knows You’re talking to him now.

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

A World Cup without Zlatan is not worth watching.

José Mourinho is a big star. He’s nice. The first time he met Helena [Ibrahimovic’s partner] he whispered to her: ‘Helena, you have only one mission – feed Zlatan, let him sleep, keep him happy.’ That guy says whatever he wants. I like him.

It is nice when people recognize me and approach me in the street. Anyone who says they don’t like that is lying.

One thing is for sure, a World Cup without me is nothing to watch so it is not worthwhile to wait for the World Cup.

I think I’m like wine. The older I get, the better I get.

An injured Zlatan is a pretty serious thing for any team.

That’s how it is with the English: if you score against them you’re a good player; if you don’t, you’re not.

Arsenal could have happened, as everybody knows, but I would not do a trial. Who do you think regrets that more – Arsene Wenger or Zlatan?

England is a very strong league, with three or four of the best teams in Europe, but, if I had played there, I would have destroyed it, like I have everywhere else.

I’m like Muhammed Ali. When he said he would knock someone out in the fourth round, he did it.

PSG’s project is to dream bigger, but if you buy Messi, you don’t dream bigger – you are bigger!

My kids idea of a hard life is to live in a house with only one phone.

I definitely got into a lot of fights when I was a kid. I never understood it. I was one of those quiet kids. I never picked with no one.

There is no profession more essential than that of an educator, and it’s time for all of us to embrace and celebrate their importance and contribution to America’s children.

I wouldn’t marry until I was ready to have children.

How is it that the colors don’t seem colorful anymore? How is it that the child in me wants to live yet keeps dying more and more?

When my little son, Prince, had health issues as a baby, we were told that he had a 20 percent chance of survival.

If religious instruction were not allowed until the child had attained the age of reason, we would be living in a quite different world.

My advice to kids is give it your all! Give it 110 percent and don’t give up!
