As a goalkeeper, you have to take risks even though at times you may make mistakes.

Ultimately, goalkeepers are on their own. I like the solitude.

The day when I left Barca, because of the treatment I was receiving and my character, it didn't go as I would have wished. I drifted and then just left, I'm sure people expected much more from me.

Thank you Frank Rijkaard, for giving me the confidence necessary, and allowing me to achieve glory, getting my hands on the European Cup in Paris.

I recriminate myself when I keep myself in the margins and let people down, especially those who expect better from me.

I was very lucky to have so many seasons with Pep Guardiola. In addition to being a teacher to many of us, he was always able to communicate greatly with everyone and knowing how to adapt to talk to different people in the dressing room.

The artist who aims at perfection in everything achieves it in nothing.

An artist is somebody who produces things that people don't need to have.

Art itself is knowledge of the spiritual world. Art is information from higher forces, by those who are talented. I'm not jiving.

In Japan, I am famous in certain special circles - mainly as someone who is trying to break down and enlighten the conventions of Japanese art.

I don't listen to what art critics say. I don't know anybody who needs a critic to find out what art is.

Right after 'Raymond' I had a world-is-my-oyster attitude, but I found out I don't like oysters. I had this existential emptiness. 'What is my purpose? Who am I?' I had a big identity crisis.
