It gives me great pleasure to see my name linked with clubs like Manchester United and Milan.

When you get onto the ball, people think three or four times before deciding whether to try and tackle you. Your opponents respect you, and your markers give you a couple of metres of space.

If I could choose anywhere in Brazil, the club I'd play for is Palmeiras.

I'm proud to have played 14 matches at the World Cup with the number ten shirt and to have scored eight goals.

Winning the Olympic gold was amazing.

I don't want to rely on what people say about me to feel good; playing's what I really enjoy.

In football, the stronger team is the one which wins.

Me, if I'm in a long-distance race, I have speed. In the sprint, I don't have so much speed.

Nowadays, it's hard to know if a player really deserves the money spent on him, because transfer values are high.

At Milan, I'm giving everything I've got during training to earn myself a chance. I honestly don't know why I can't find space in the team, even on the bench.

When I came to Spain, people thought I would fly home again after the holidays, stay up all night celebrating, and would have no discipline. That may be true of other players, but it's not my way.

The number 10 player is the star of the team, and you have more responsibility.

I'm very fond of Olympiakos, and I would be delighted to end my career in Piraeus.

Lots of great players, like Zidane and Figo, are about the same age as me.

I became famous when I scored that goal for Mogi Mirim direct from the kick-off against Noroeste. It was 18 April 1993, if I'm not mistaken. After that, my name was in all the papers.

I don't think about being a goalscorer. Basically, it doesn't interest me. It's nice to score, of course, but I don't go round thinking about this.

Milan, Inter, Roma, Juventus, Lazio - all of the big Italian clubs would be nice, but my son has a lot of work to do to show himself off and demonstrate his talent. Let's take things slowly.

I am not ashamed to say I will speak up to defend myself.

In Brazil, you know that only first place counts; in other countries, you might celebrate coming second, third, or fourth, but not in Brazil.

Barcelona is one of the best teams in the world. When you play in a team like this, you have more chance to show your performance.

With persistence, dedication, and especially with the hand of God, I came to be recognized as the best player in the world, world champion, among many other important titles in the history of football.

I don't like Van Gaal, and I am sure he doesn't like me, either.

Neymar will not return to Barcelona. It was a very difficult situation for him there.

I know nothing about meetings between clubs, and I don't want to know anything about them.

As far as Sao Paulo are concerned, I've never played for a club as well-structured as this.

If Neymar doesn't leave PSG, he will never win anything important. Especially the Champions League, which is the most important competition.

At times, here at Milan, I have felt humiliated.

World Cup is the most important title I have won. There is no doubt about that.

I don't want to leave Barcelona. I'm very happy here, and I want to stay on.

I mean no offence, but we know that the French league is not the same as the Spanish or English league, where there's more difficulty.

I'm not a machine. I don't see why people demand more of me than of other players.

If Milan agrees to let me go, and if there's an agreement between the clubs, I would love to play for Madrid.

I have already told Neymar he could be the best player in the world, but I think that if he stays at PSG, he will never achieve that.

I was very excited about the possibility of playing for Spurs and in England. I would like to thank the club for their efforts in trying to sign me.

Of course I'm not superhuman: I'm going to get tired; that's normal.

Everyone here at Milan knows that my physical fitness is among the best in the squad; I always stand out in the tests.

I do not want anyone in Bolton to think that, if I play there, I am doing it for the wrong reasons.

There were other propositions, even better financially, but I chose Olympiakos because of the Champions League.

I do a lot of things with both hands. I've been told I have a better shooting form with my right, but I'm more comfortable with the left.

I feel I expect greatness from myself.

I work hard to be great every day.

Don't be afraid to ask questions. People have a lot of knowledge.

I have every goal you could possibly dream of - Rookie of the Year, NBA champion, MVP.

Bernard King said something great about me? Wow, he's one of the best. I'm definitely honored and very thankful.

New York is my favorite. Every summer I visited. I have family there. That's where my mom grew up, so I've definitely been there a lot.

I don't really look for the spotlight, I don't look for any of that stuff. I just want to play basketball.

I've always kind of been a guy that's played the whole season.

I've learned that every game is different. You could play one team and have a terrible game and the next time you play them have the best game of your career.

I've always been confident.

Basketball is fun. It's what I love to do. You got to have fun with it.
