When I was 11 years old, I was playing for the Lierse youth team, and one of the parents from the other team literally tried to stop me from going on the pitch. He was like, 'How old is this kid? Where is his ID? Where is he from?'

Ever since I was six or seven, I wanted to be a professional footballer.

What I would like most is to play in the Champions League and try to win the Premier League once. Or better - a few times.

If you don't have ambition to be one of the best, someone will always come and take your place.

I think that becoming a successful rock band is a little like becoming a professional athlete. Nobody plans on it.

I think every athlete wants to get sponsored. If you do really well in your sport, then I think sponsorship can help you get rewarded in that sense: doing what you can for your sponsor. It's just another achievement in life.

There are franchise players to build around that have championship-level talent, skill, basketball IQ, and character - it's hard to find those guys. Those guys are rare.

I do Athlete Devotion throughout all my fight camps. I am a Christian, so I fight with God first, and I have my devotions with me everywhere I go.
