I would love to play alongside Wayne Rooney. He does the running of two or three players and makes a lot of space. We would be the perfect combination.

Messi does not need his right foot, though. He only uses the left and he's still the best in the world! Imagine if he also used his right foot... Then we would have serious problems!

We usually say that you cannot become a legend before death. But I am a living legend

He's a lucky guy Cristiano, he always gets first row tickets to see Messi win his awards.

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?

Kosovo is Serbian, only if my mother is a Virgin

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

Arsene Wenger asked me to have a trial with Arsenal when I was 17. I turned it down. Zlatan doesn't do auditions

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

Wherever I go people recognize me, call my name, cheer for me. But there are names no one cares to remember, that no one cheers for: the 805 million people suffering from hunger in the world today.

I like Balotelli: he's even crazier than me. He can score a winner, then set fire to the hotel.

The ending can only start with the beginning and end with self estrangement, as to become once again his own/old self. This is why every man is a continuous ending.

Let failuers be your reason to strengthen your determination and passion to succeed.

I like to think I get better with age, but maybe absence makes the heart grow fonder.

The most powerful teaching moments are the ones where you screw up.

I have tons of friends in the heavy-metal music world, and just going to see them inspires me.

If we choose to be no more than clods of clay, then we shall be used as clods of clay for braver feet to tread on.

The auditory perception is not sufficient for our knowledge of the world; it does not have vastness.

When I was a kid I got no respect. I had no friends. I remember the see-saw. I had to keep runnin' from one end to the other.

My poetry doesn't change from place to place - it changes with the years. It's very important to be one's age. You get ideas you have to turn down - 'I'm sorry, no longer'; 'I'm sorry, not yet.

Strict orthodoxy can cost too much if it has to be bought at the price of love. All the orthodoxy in the world will never take the place of love.
