I cannot stand ditsy women.

I'm trying to tell men, 'Really show yourself. Do not be macho, because the biggest turnoff for a woman is a macho guy because women, they're very sensitive. They know you're macho because you're insecure.'

You have to be a low-class scumbag to start calling a woman a name. If you're a man, you should never. You should be a gentleman.

I'd be the biggest hypocrite if I said I really worked very hard for my career, because it was given to me on a silver platter. I can't take any credit.

The most dangerous area is the centre, which has to be either attacked or defended in football, and it's the same in chess.

You can play basketball and have a magic night and score 40 points with your team-mates and win the game. There are favourites for the World Cup, but you can't guarantee Germany, Spain, or Brazil will win, but here, everyone can guarantee that Mercedes or Ferrari will win the race, and this is very sad for the sport.

There are so many things about playing football that seem to me uniquely American. Anybody can succeed, anybody can play, but you've got to work hard to do it.

It sounds like a cliche, but without a strong group, you win nothing in football.
