Death is not just the end, it's the beginning.

I couldn't really trust anyone. Not completely.

Tell-all books are boring.

What you did, nobody wants to know about it, unless you did something exciting.

The Philadelphia audiences, they're like our home crowd.

It's sad to see these old buildings go because they have so many memories, and it's a real personal kind of thing when you play these places. It's part of our history just gone.

Of course, you get exhausted. You want to pass out. I came close a couple of times. But you're filled with something, that feedback that comes from the audience.

When you go backstage at a Bruce Springsteen show, you don't see a circus.

We had to play both ways on the field, so I was offensive center and defensive end.

Everybody calls me Big Man.

The night before a show, I don't sleep. Really. I've been doing this for 30 years, and the night before a show, I still don't sleep.

I visualize what I do before I do it. Visualizing makes me better.

I never thought I'd be a, quote, 'rock & roll star.'

I'm a Gaga-ite.

To me, music is a river. I have lived my life beside the river. Every day, I get up and look at the river. I watch it and notice when it rises and falls.

Asbury Park's a special place for me. It's where I really began playing.

Education is the key solution for change, for peace, and for help in the fight against racism and discrimination in general.

Luck is a factor that a lot of people underestimate.

If I could have played on another five years, I would have stayed here because Botafogo have a young, competitive team. We've improved not only technically but also as a team. Even after me, Botafogo will remain great.

What I strive for is that everywhere I go, I leave a positive impact.

Every time you win a cup, it's special, but it's a dream come true when it happens at a club where you started in the youth set-up, surrounded by friends who formed an incredible generation of players.

If you're a talented player, and you're 20 years old, you should be playing in the UEFA Champions League or in the elite European teams like AC Milan, Juventus, or Chelsea.

I'm not Zidane and not Rui Costa, but I have qualities - I can create assists - but I have to step up a level to become like those two.

Every player can still grow - there is no limit to that. Even when I was 38, I improved myself in certain things, and that is what I will always do with my players to help them get the best out of themselves.

The secret in life is to make every obstacle into an opportunity.

When you have ambition, then it's never enough to win.

Who doesn't want to work in the Premier League?

Managers lose more than they win until they get to the big 10 clubs; then, they start winning a bit more than they lose.

There's no guarantee of winning, even if you are the best players and the best team.

If I was happy with three trophies, then suddenly I had to have four. If I was happy with four, then I had to have five.

I think I'm outspoken, but I think people respect me for that.

Who does not talk cannot be judged. Who does not shoot the penalty cannot miss.

I played over 130 matches, including four finals, so there have been many great moments.

Winning the Champions League is a very particular feeling, but it's really the journey that makes it special.

I think that there's still a lot of prejudice going on. I don't really think it's only an issue of football. I think football is a mirror of society.

When I went to AC Milan, they were four points away from the relegation zone, and by the end of the season, we were just one goal away from being in the Europa League.

Unfortunately, results are the only thing that some people look at, but there is more to defining success than just stats.

I am a winner - and I like to win - but I cannot think that, if I lose, I did not do a good job, because there are other external factors involved.

Of course African teams are underachieving when you think of what their potential is.

Good, young players don't compete in China or in Asia.

Players must understand that if they go after more lucrative contracts, then they forfeit their chances of playing in the national team.

We try to bring in the best players for Cameroon: not just best in terms of talent but those who are motivated and who know what it means to play for this nation.

Every player needs to be happy and proud to play for Cameroon.

Football can help carve a more diverse world.

Companies and football teams have become successful precisely because of how diverse they are.

We need to educate young people, give them the possibility to understand that the diversity is positive, to feel and experience it, so that they can then join forces in promoting more diverse world.

Football is not just what you do on the field.

I am aware of my own position and my responsibilities to youngsters watching us. You are a role model.

Players don't trust most of the people around them.

I'm on a mission partly to make a difference in the world for the better, starting with the kids. They are the future.
