Football should never be a worry. It should be exciting. When a child plays football outside, he doesn't need to worry. Professionals should be the same.

There are some people who might have better technique than me, and some may be fitter than me, but the main thing is tactics. With most players, tactics are missing. You can divide tactics into insight, trust, and daring. In the tactical area, I think I just have more than most other players.

Speed is often confused with insight. When I start running earlier than the others, I appear faster.

Football is not about suffering. It's about enjoyment. Control the ball, be friendly with it, try to attack, try to score goals. Of course defending is part of it, but you can defend in a lot of ways.

I just love the sport, love the game.

I used to get 2000 as pocket money, and I was being offered a car and an opportunity to make lakhs, so I said a yes. I was a kid and got homesick over my 40-day schedule in Bangalore and decided that I would only do films in the South if they were 10-day roles.

For my first gig, I got $75. I could make money being funny, so I pursued it as a career and have turned it into a lucrative business.

The money's the same, whether you earn it or scam it.
