It's going to be a rule, I think, for wearing a crash hat, and I actually fractured my skull through not wearing a hat. I was so lucky to escape from that, and now, it's something I always do.

If anybody says their facelift doesn't hurt, they're lying. It was like I'd spent the night with an axe murderer.

I do know that detachment is important. A surgeon can't be weeping into the open wound.

If your body is damaged, wounded, it can be fixed, but if inside, mentally, you are wounded you cannot fix it, it's hard.

It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.

A thick head can do as much damage as a hard heart.

I haven't fallen that much, but when I have, it's usually in the attempt to do something worthwhile. As for recovery, you just have to get up!

With any recovery from morbidity there must go a certain healthy humiliation.

One ought to hold on to one's heart; for if one lets it go, one soon loses control of the head too.

When I was getting injured so much, I spoke to my family and my manager and said, 'I need my body to recover.' The first thing I thought was that I needed to stay upright. When I went back to Brazil to play, after a few months, my body was perfect.
