I know what I am, and what I have to do in my profession, so I can handle the pressure. It's the way I think.

I have to say it's been tough to leave the Ferrari family, which has been a big part of my career.

When you start out in a team, you have to get the teamwork going and then you get something back.

If you do things to the limit, and don't purposely go over that limit, then I think it's fine to do whatever you want. So long as you enjoy it. That's what's important.

If I would have listened to other people back in 2000 telling me I should have stopped playing basketball because of a kidney disease, I wouldn't have won a world championship.

There was always football in my family: my dad, big and little brothers, even my mum used to play.

The limits are set by the referees. Those are the ones who are in charge of making sure this is football and not American football.

I obviously take a lot of pride in what I do on the football field, because that has the ability to influence a lot of people. That puts smiles on people's faces. That gives people a pep in their step on Monday morning when they go back to work.
