Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do.

A lot of people, when a guy scores a lot of goals, think, 'He's a great player', because a goal is very important, but a great player is a player who can do everything on the field. He can do assists, encourage his colleagues, give them confidence to go forward. It is someone who, when a team does not do well, becomes one of the leaders.

The bicycle kick is not easy to do. I scored 1,283 goals, and only two or three were bicycle kicks.

I sometimes lie awake at night and wonder why I am still so popular and, to be honest, I don't know.

Family issues and a failing career would be enough to consume most young actresses.

I have the weirdest career in hip-hop, and I say that because I started so young. I started So So Def when I was 17 years old.

In the 30 years of my career, I have explored all possible mediums, except radio.

What I wanted more than anything was a long career.
