For me, 'rich' isn't having lots of money; rich is having loads of things in your head.
At Barcelona, it wasn't about winning all the time; it was first about how to win.
Money's a necessary evil, there to give you moments. It gives me things I couldn't have - nice things - but happiness? That's a not a question of money and fame. Quite the opposite.
I have lived with a lot of racism in Spain. Unfortunately, I have had to learn to deal with it.
If you do the same as all the rest, you're the same as all the rest: I don't want to be just another player.
When I was 18, I moved across the ocean just for the opportunity to play for a club that played against Barcelona. So to have the honour of playing for Barca? It was incredible.
Leo Messi is a little football God. I love playing alongside him. We understand each other without needing to talk.
My parents gave me a practical example of what life was about, and I won't forget that.
I always have the desire for a new challenge.
Before I went to Juventus, I made a final promise to the board at Barcelona. I said, 'You're going to miss me.' I didn't mean as a player. Barca have plenty of incredible players. What I meant was that they were going to miss my spirit.
In life, we should explore options outside our comfort zone.
I think that the best player in the world should be quiet, humble, and friendly. Lionel Messi is all of these things, while Cristiano often lacks some of these qualities.
I have flaws, but I'm honest.
The world is evolving, and we must evolve with it.
From God, I have the strength and intelligence to have alternatives and can live even without football.
To be a great champion, you have to believe that you are the best, and if you aren't, then you have to act as though you are.
I like my decisions to be taken carefully, so they don't harm anyone close to me, so that the people close to me are happy.
I always think about life, and I think that we are here with a mission, and once we have done our mission, we go somewhere else.
When things begin to go negative, sometimes we just have to cover our ears and not let such circumstances influence us.
I watch loads of football; whenever I am not playing, I am at home watching matches, including the English league.
