I used to fast during Ramadan because I admired the people fasting around me. What made me convert was that I had that certainty that Islam was for me. I felt this relationship with God, and that enlightened my life. I had that conviction in my heart that that was my religion.

When I reflect on my career I have no regrets.

Shanghai is Asia's New York.

I did very little at Real Madrid. I would have liked to do much more but I didn't get the chance.

I know that English football and the Premier League is the best.

It is always good to win a game.

Modern art is what happens when painters stop looking at girls and persuade themselves that they have a better idea.

You have to have an attitude that nothing's gonna stop me. I think that's just my New York kind of attitude - survival of the fittest.

Whenever I talk about the Bahamas and its beauty, I could never stop talking about my God, who has given us all of this beauty.

A failure is not always a mistake, it may simply be the best one can do under the circumstances. The real mistake is to stop trying.

The best thing is to accept the circumstances, not take them personally, deal with them, stop complaining, and give everything your best.

Anybody can have a birthday. It requires nothing. Murderers have birthdays. It's the opposite of anything that I believe in. And I don't like at work where you stop everything to sing 'Happy Birthday' to someone. I feel like that's for children.
