I like changing my hairstyle, much to my mother's annoyance. It depends on my state of mind.

If football was a drug, I would have died from overdose.

Purpose without virtue is vanity.

I always live in the present. I never dream about what might happen. Why? It might not.

I've always been a sad person. I'm a happy person too, but it's a thing in my brain or my spirit or something, I'm just sad and really acutely aware of mortality and loss.

Football is a team sport and not an individual sport. We win as a team, and every individual is better if we are part of the team.

I don't know what to say about myself. I don't know myself (laughs). People say my humility but I believe we're all humble in our own way. I try to stay close to my family and friends.

I know my statistics have not been the same as in other years but I'm fighting to get back to those statistics.

When I retire, the only thing that concerns me is that no one can say that I was a bad team-mate or disrespectful or self-important.

Liverpool is a fundamental part of my life. They don't remember me that way, but time will change that. I could not have chosen a better place to go when I left Atletico.

If I score against Liverpool I will not celebrate.

I once sent a dozen of my friends a telegram saying 'flee at once - all is discovered.' They all left town immediately.

i have only one way to blow the steam off, i make money, you spend money thats funny, now i'm smilling like thats honey:)

I'm a big advocate of financial intelligence.

Every day I wake up and I realize how lucky I am to be living this life.

The whole point of love is to put someone else’s needs above your own.

The ego is not harmonious with happiness and spiritual development. In the process of spiritual transformation we refine it. In the fire of love we melt the ego down.

If you have never seen beauty in a moment of suffering, you have never seen beauty at all. If you have never seen joy in a beautiful face, you have never seen joy at all.

I'm not saying that everything is survivable. Just that everything except the last thing is.

It would be foolish to suggest that government is a good custodian of aesthetic goals. But, there is no alternative to the state.

I am not a monster, I am just a man.
