They say that abandonment is a wound that never heals. I say only that an abandoned child never forgets.

Racism springs from ignorance.

You can't delete racism. It's like a cigarette. You can't stop smoking if you don't want to, and you can't stop racism if people don't want to. But I'll do everything I can to help.

From Mario Balotelli

I know some players like being the centre of attention and I admit that when I first became a player I liked fame, too. But that feeling lasted only for three months. Then I realised what it was really like to be the centre of attention all the time. It isn't all good.

From Mario Balotelli

Racist people are few, in the minority. But you can do nothing to change them. You can talk, you can do what you want, but you can't do anything because they are just stupid people.

From Mario Balotelli

I would be ready to become a dad if I was with the right person. I'd like a boy, though. Because they're in charge.

From Mario Balotelli

I don't like to talk much, even when people speak bad about me. Inside me, I say, 'Why do they have to think of me that way?' But I know how I am. My objective is not that people follow me, but I'm happy that they do.
