The moment my name was called [Africa's Footballer of the Year] was truly overwhelming and I was about to scream with joy.

I always set myself new goals. I always want to do better than I did in the past. I always want to achieve things I never achieved before.

Speed is a part of me. I think I was born with that, and nowadays a fast player, I need a fast car, too.

Here's to our beloved George Washington, the Joshua of America, who commanded the sun and the moon to stand still - and they obeyed.

To stay interested in acting, I have to keep trying stuff I've never done before.

Perfection does not exist -- you can always do better and you can always grow.

You can never have enough talent.

When I wasn't lying awake thinking and planning and fighting over that furious pennant race, I was dreaming restless dreams about it.

I guess because of my act, people think that I say things they want to say, and that they can just come up and say anything to me.
