As a footballer, I know I am a role model for a lot of African kids, and I want to make a direct impact on their lives.

There are only a few players who play in the same team all their career. You come from somewhere and go somewhere else.

Scoring goals is what I do best in my career.

I'm not really happy with my football career, but I can't complain about it, either.

When I go see a basketball game, I'm always in the front row. I always have a table at a restaurant; I never have trouble getting a taxi.

You wear fur, it's like you trying to be something you not. You get fur, you can spend the same money on like, 30 jackets.

What a nightmare it would be if we individually had to criminalise every single abuse of every single commodity, market or financial product. There are thousands of these and new ones being invented every day. Such an approach would have disastrous implications for regulation and policy-making. Any slide towards it must be resisted.

What I am most proud of is the legacy of hope that FIFA and football leaves around the world. It makes all of the efforts and energy I pour into this job worth it.
