It is easier when you like to work with your companions.

I don't feel hatred for Zuniga.

A historic defeat cannot bow our heads forever.

When we're on vacation - it doesn't matter where - I will go and look for a game.

Everything in my life has happened very early, personally and professionally.

I'm 69 kilos; I don't have a burden on my back.

To play with the best is very easy.

I was never motivated by money.

I must follow my heart.

I was at a great club at Barcelona. I loved Barcelona.

I've learned my tricks watching videos on the Internet with friends. I'm always trying to copy what I've seen at home, what I learned from my friends. But you have to repeat it again and again to get it right on the field.

When I'm on the field, the trick I like to do most are stepovers. For me, it's a simple, beautiful dribble that also has a point.

The fact I am the most expensive player is not a burden.

Football without Messi and Messi without football are not things that go together.

Whoever likes football always likes to see the best player on the pitch.

When you see a person you love being affected, suffering, people saying things that aren't true... then it hurts you.

Before speaking without knowledge, saying lies, you have to present evidence.

I'm not scared. I always go forward, trying to create space and make my way toward the goal.

I do recommend it for all girls, and boys, out there: put on a pair of fishnet stockings and find your inner sexiness!

My New Year's Resolution List usually starts with the desire to lose between ten and three thousand pounds.

You only get one life so you might as well make it a happy one, and that's why I tend to just jump into things. I'm sort of a fearless idiot that way.

My blood sugar went out of control. Diabetes runs in my family, so I went to see my doctor. He was like, 'Buck up,' and it was sort of the wake-up call that I needed to hear.

Absolutely, I don't believe in rules. As I tell my daughter when she is mischievous, 'Well-behaved women rarely make history.'

There's this constant guilt that comes with parenting. You always feel like you're never enough. If you're confident in your parenting, you probably suck at it.

In many ways we are all sons and daughters of ancient Greece.

America was founded on immigrants. The immigrant experience is common to all of us.

I thought I was attractive when I shot 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding.' Studio executives and movie reviewers let me know I had a confidence in my looks that was not shared by them. In other words, they labeled me with words like overweight, unattractive, unappealing.

I'd been raised by my parents who taught me not to think you're better than you are.

Women are so many things. We're sisters, mothers, wives. There are so many things we encompass.

Because I am a character actor, I thought I would be the fourth or eighth banana on a sitcom, and that would be OK.

I don't like it if I act anything other than the humble Winnipegger I was raised to be.

Don't settle; don't compromise. Freeze your eggs, get your sociology doctorate, worry more about war and pestilence and the incredible inequality of geographical birth than finding your soulmate.

My mum came to the set of my second movie 'Connie and Carla,' and she had made food for the whole cast, including mini bun cakes with little flowers sticking out of each one.

Socially, the issue of men's weight is simply not a big deal.

I couldn't get an acting job to save my life when I moved to L.A.

On the publicity tour of 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding,' I was asked over and over again, if, as the writer, I felt it was a fair depiction of real life to have someone of my er, below average looks, hook up with hottie John Corbett.

My heroes in real life are definitely my mom for being true to herself, for having a foot in both worlds, for being so very polite - Canadian and also such a traditional Greek woman. I would sum it up this way: the life lesson she would say is be polite while you're breaking the rules.

And (cue music swell) motherhood turned out to be the most meaningful thing I've ever done with my life. Really.

I do get approached every day by people who say, 'Why don't you make more movies?' I don't really miss it when I get to go and watch my daughter in the Christmas pageant.

It wasn't easy to adopt an American child. Actually it's quite simple, but finding out how to do it was the hard part.

The media was always so focused on the money a movie makes. But I was in Times Square, and a bunch of Japanese tourists looked at me and started shouting, 'Toula!' I loved it. It's these tiny moments of connection that register with me the most and always have.

I have had the same person show up in a few cities with flowers. A lovely gentleman who gave me a picture of himself. I came home, gave it to Ian, and said, 'If I go missing, here's the guy.'

Ever since I became a parent, time moves far too quickly. My vision always feels like I'm wearing giant kaleidoscope-goggles.

I consider myself a fearless idiot.

I have no idea how to use social media for anything other than forwarding a good fart joke.

I'm not one of those people that can suddenly start running and hire a Pilates trainer; it's just not my thing.

It's not like suddenly, when you become a working actor all your friends are in the same situation. I have friends who are still handing out flyers for their one-woman show and trying to make ends meet.

Socially, the issue of men's weight is simply not a big deal. Let's face it: Russell Crowe is fat, and no one ever talks about it. Alec Baldwin just orders his suits a size bigger, and we continue to swoon.

You're not ethnic enough. You're not fat enough. You're not thin enough. You're not blond enough. You're not dark enough. You're not young enough. You're not old enough.

The popular girls let me hang out with them because I was funny. They told me that. 'You're not popular, but you're funny.' Now all my friends are funny.
