I'm a great professional. What's been said about me going out a lot at night is a lie.

What the not-so-good moments gave me at Real Madrid, I think they helped me grow.

I've said in the past that I'd like to play in Spain one day, because it is a league that is good technically and where you get a lot of touches on the ball, which is my style.

I feel more comfortable where I play for Colombia because I like to be closer to the goal; that works better for me. I can score and pass from there. But as a player, I have to be prepared to play in any position.

I play football, and most football players are camera shy. We just want to be left alone; we just want to stick to what we do.

Even though I'm not a competitive athlete, I have to still maintain things and try to keep myself fit because I am at that age where I need to make sure to get those regular checkups and make sure everything is in tact.

Being in school is the best place to be if you are an athlete because you can structure your own time.

In the off season, you work out for two hours a day, and then you got all this other time off. I like doing other stuff. Football obviously isn't going to last a lifetime either, so it's always cool to get in front of a camera, do commercials, and do endorsements for products that you love.
