What I'd most highlight about Leo Messi is his huge sense of responsibility for the team. It shows in every game in every competition.

Messi always gets us out of trouble, and we're not going to apologise for having him.

I do not think it is very easy to win away from home in the Champions League.

Football is a game of errors. You want to make your rivals commit them and to avoid them yourself.

We all want our players to be perfect and never make errors, but we all do. Even coaches.

Football is a game of emotions.

There is something fundamental about Leo in terms of what he transmits to the supporters and what he transmits to the opposition when he starts to run at you. And I speak from experience.

Villarreal have played well against difficult opponents. They're never an easy team to beat.

Of course there is 'Messidependence.' It would exist in any team in the world, but when he is not there, we also have to play and try to win. Leo is fundamental for us and marks the style; it is well known that he is the best in the world for something.

When you sign a contract with a club like Barca, that's what you have to cope with. You have to show your face when you've lost games. I knew that when I came into the job.

When you lose is when you learn the most.

Wins are big boosts for your confidence, but sometimes you don't notice little things. When you lose a game, it means that the opponent has had a plan, and it's worked - now we need to see our capacity for response.

Messi is just extraordinary.

A derby is always special.

I never think long or long term.

If you win a game, everyone is happy, and if you lose, everyone is watching you.

Positional play is good for training, but in games, to win matches, you need someone who can go past defenders and take chances.

Basically, if you go looking for trouble, it'll come find you.

Sometimes I wake up in the morning and feel like going straight back to bed. But I still have to get up and work, and I still have to take advantage of the chances I've been given in life.

Garage music came up when people weren't paying attention.

No one goes straight to happiness after a breakup.

You can't please everybody. I give up. I'm not trying to. I don't care. Leave me alone with that.

Americans have their issues with skin colour, even within the black community, with light and dark skin; it's crazy - but no one's oblivious to it.

I would say my greatest musical influences have been Ella Fitzgerald and Mary J. Blige.

I got into hip hop from my uncle; he was always playing us Kool G Rap and Big Daddy Kane. He was a bad boy, and my mum was not really happy that I was hanging out with him.

Adele ain't soul.

The people who have the strongest opinion about everything have never left their city, their town, haven't left their 'hood, haven't left their area, their corner of the world. They don't read. They've never left their house.

The Grammy snuck up on me. I was on tour. It just hit me. I skipped down the street in Vienna. I kept saying, 'I won. I won.'

I never do a show where the people just sit there and look at me. They always sing along. It's going to be a fun time.

I've fully embraced who I am. I stopped fighting with people and just come to realize, 'This is me. This is all of me.'

John Legend is a cool guy. He likes to chill, is easy to talk to and hang out with. He's also inspiring on a musical level.

Walking round the Champs-Elysees late at night is the greatest time.

I have my family; I'm never alone.

Me being a black girl in London, whose mom is first-generation African and whose dad is West Indian, gives me a different view. I'm coming at soul from my own place.

I can't stand quitters. My mother is a very strong, determined woman. I was peeling onions when I was seven, but I walked off when my eyes began to sting. She said to me, 'You start something and you finish it', and that stuck with me. I'm persistent.

I am a black British female artist, so I must be like Ms Dynamite, I must be like Shystie, I must be like Jamelia, but we're all different.

In order for me to write, I have to experience life. I write the songs based on real life, and I perform them from a very real place.

Nobody's going to tell me to rap in an American accent.

American food is not what I'm used to - everything is like three portions.

I wear and have worn scarves my entire life while traveling, working out, and now sometimes while performing, and not just on my head - I wear them around my neck and on my bag.

You know, sometimes you fall in love and you get treated badly, sometimes you get treated well.

For four years, my mum allowed only church music in the house.

If I don't agree with something, I let people know, and it occasionally leads to tension. But I usually iron things out.

'Something Good' is a feel-good song. A reminder that you're dope and have something wonderful to offer life and yourself and the world.

I learned that working out gives me a space to get clear. It's not just about the body. It gives me space to process things and get clear in my mind about decisions and things I want to do.

Some days I might be wearing a little dress, and some days I might be wearing something with wings on it and be confusing.

I'd really started hating music. I'd started hating all the songs, hating being in the industry, hating doing the shows. So I had to learn to love music again if I wanted to continue doing this.

I will test a guy to within an inch of his sanity because I've been through too much drama. He has to be 100%.

The reality show 'America's Next Top Model' is my girlie pleasure.

I like to write about the things I care about. It's no fun to sing about things you don't like.
