I think we should not accept and tolerate racism anywhere, in any game, whether it's a friendly game or a World Cup final, or it's a Champions League final.

There was always football in my family: my dad, big and little brothers, even my mum used to play.

Basketball is one of my favourite sports; I love playing it and watching it on TV.

My mum and dad used to listen to a lot of R&B and soul, so this was the way I grew up. Hip-hop, of course. But then as I grew older, I started listening to everything.

Fans don't care what's in your private life, what happened in your past, where you come from. If you don't perform, they judge.

I grew up with all cultures in the world.

I still have a picture: three cars, big house, I'm standing there like I'm 50 Cent. I look at it sometimes and say, 'Look how stupid you were.' But that made me who I am, and I can look back and see it. I've learned. I grew up. I woke up one morning, looked in the mirror, and thought, 'No, that's not me. I don't want to be that. I'm a footballer.'

Just having people saying no to racism on a commercial changes nothing.

Am I the Cristiano Ronaldo of Sassuolo? Maybe yes, but I'm 500 goals away.

Players like Rio Ferdinand and Patrick Vieira have supported me, and I just want to say thank you.

There are so many people, FIFA or whatever, that can do something against this. They should wake up and do it. If there is a racism, those people should be banned from the stadium forever. They should not even enter the stadium anymore. Never again. That's the first thing they can do.

Cristiano - he has it all. He has a right foot, left foot, is good in the air, so quick.

Don't ask me about Real Madrid - it's just the past.

We are in the year 2013, and racism is still amongst us and is still a problem. It's not simply an argument for the History Channel or something that belongs to the past or something that only happens in other countries.

When I played for Ghana, I learned how to fight malaria. Simple vaccines are not enough. You also have to dry out infected areas where the carriers proliferate. I think that racism and malaria have a lot in common.

Many sportsmen, like myself and my team-mates, artists, and musicians all have unique chances and responsibilities to make themselves heard. We have the possibility to reach the parts that political speeches will never reach.
