My dream is to help young players. I don't want them to make the mistakes I did in the past.
Kevin-Prince Boateng
I bought three cars in one day. For a high six-figure sum, I got a Lamborghini, a Hummer, and a Cadillac Oldtimer.
In what transcends this world, the best is Messi because he is incredible: he does things that nobody can do.
I want to be 100 per cent; I want to give everything when I come to play for Ghana.
Stadiums can be places where people of different colour come to support their teams, or they can be seen as stagnant areas where healthy people will be infected by racism.
The concept 'a bit racist' doesn't exist. There are no tolerable quantities of racism. It's unacceptable regardless of where it happens or the form that it takes.
I believe it's not 100 percent right to kneel during the national anthem, because you have to respect what many have done for this nation. I think kneeling prior to the anthem, like the Dallas Cowboys have done, is right.
Don't ask me about Real Madrid - it's just the past.
Players like Rio Ferdinand and Patrick Vieira have supported me, and I just want to say thank you.
Just having people saying no to racism on a commercial changes nothing.
Racism is real; it exists here and now. You can find it on the streets, in your office, and in football stadiums.
The Champions League without Milan is not the Champions League.
I know that Spurs are a team who like to play offensive football.
A return to the Bundesliga would be super.
I'm happy to have met Klopp.
Money is important, but it's not everything.
Lionel Messi is not human. He is from another galaxy.
I put a portion of my salary to the side.
I can honestly tell you that playing against Messi is very difficult.
If I would have had the absolute will, I would have been a starting XI player at Barcelona or would have played 10 years for Real Madrid or Manchester United.
Under pressure, I play best.
There are many different types of racism from people of different colours and nationalities. There is no vaccine to fight this and no antibiotics to take. It's a dangerous and infectious virus which is strengthened by indifference and inaction.
There are so many people, FIFA or whatever, that can do something against this. They should wake up and do it. If there is a racism, those people should be banned from the stadium forever. They should not even enter the stadium anymore. Never again. That's the first thing they can do.
You end up trying to buy happiness. I bought a Lamborghini. Wow! I was happy for a week. After that, I didn't even use the car. Who drives around Loughton in a Lamborghini?
My mum and dad used to listen to a lot of R&B and soul, so this was the way I grew up. Hip-hop, of course. But then as I grew older, I started listening to everything.
I think we should not accept and tolerate racism anywhere, in any game, whether it's a friendly game or a World Cup final, or it's a Champions League final.
I've never lacked guts, for good or bad.
Basketball is one of my favourite sports; I love playing it and watching it on TV.
A dream doesn't become reality through magic. It takes sweat, determination, and hard work.
I know - without sounding arrogant - that I could've played at Real Madrid... but I didn't work hard enough for that.
For me, it is amazing to be in England. To be in London and playing for Spurs will be great for me.
I should have been called Kelvin. That would have been a top name: Kelvin-Prince. That was a mistake on the birth certificate - no one knows that.
For young people who are football players, Ronaldo should be the best in the world. He is the best example to look at because he trains to the fullest and has talent.
I watched the Premier League regularly in Germany. It is the most famous league in the world, and I have always enjoyed it.
I've always wanted to work with De Zerbi, and I think he is a genius in his vision of football.
In football, things change quickly.
I could hear from the crowd some monkey noises, and this went on for about 25 minutes. Every time I touched the ball, I could hear the crowd. I said to myself, 'In this kind of environment, in this situation, I don't want to play football anymore.'
I'm someone who likes to live it up.
When you're young, you don't think about what you want to be. I was just playing football because I had fun and enjoyed it. When I reached 16, that's when I was dreaming about becoming a footballer.
I think Sassuolo are a serious club who play great football, keeping the ball, and are almost Spanish in style.
Ronaldo dominates this world, and Messi is above everything else.
At my club, Portsmouth, my foot pains were diagnosed as a strain of the syndesmotic ligament.
The Champions League is a very special one, as everyone switches one gear up.
Sometimes I wake up, and I'm a little bit grumpy, and I listen to soul. Sometimes I wake up, and I need some spirit, so I listen to Rock&Roll. It depends on the mood I'm in.
We have a duty to face racism and to fight it.
There was always football in my family: my dad, big and little brothers, even my mum used to play.
When I played for Ghana, I learned how to fight malaria. Simple vaccines are not enough. You also have to dry out infected areas where the carriers proliferate. I think that racism and malaria have a lot in common.
As an 18-year-old, I would have needed an agent or a family to push me in the right direction. I would have liked that.
Every single person I spoke with, when I said I might perhaps be moving to Modena, told me how great the food is, so much so that I had to say, 'I'm here to play football, not to open a restaurant!'
I grew up with all cultures in the world.
