Helping people, moreover those coming from where you grew up, this is the most important. Not everyone can succeed, but at least you can to act for them.

Learning is fine, but you also have to win - you only have one career.

For me, football is more than a sport, just look at the impact it has on society.

I want to win the Champions League first. If I can win the Ballon d'Or, okay, but my objective is to win the Champions League first.

My first job was in sixth grade, sweeping the clay tennis courts at the yacht club near my house, which I was not a member of. Always had to pay my own rent. But I don't really have any concept of how money works. I don't know how much things cost. Like a BMW. Or a quart of milk. It's embarrassing.

It's really difficult working with kids and with babies because they are not cooperative subjects: they are not socialized into the idea that they should cheerfully and cooperatively give you information. They're not like undergraduates, who you can bribe with beer money or course credit.

There are cultural reasons, economic competitiveness reasons. There are a lot of reasons why people are in poverty. The difference today is that increasingly they are in perpetual poverty.

My life goal is to find a nice balance between working for money and working for fulfillment.
