“I'd never thought of going to Japan, but the J-League came to me, and ...” — Diego Forlan Quote

I'd never thought of going to Japan, but the J-League came to me, and I could see that they wanted me to be part of the project. In the beginning, they said, 'We have two or three teams for you, although we cannot say which ones at the moment, but we want you as a player, as everything.'

Uruguay is a small country but with a lot of football history. We've won so many things, and so the people are always expecting us to do good things.

Sometimes, in the last minute, against big teams... you never expect you have the chance to win, but there is that 'garra' that everyone talks about.

I have huge respect for Porto, a great club that's always in the hunt for titles, but they aren't Real Madrid, one of the biggest clubs in the world.

As an actress, I would love to know the marks given to me by the audience. In the beginning, I used to take reviews very seriously. Then, most reviews had different things to say.

In the beginning I was just rhyming. I didn't know nothing about the business. I was just laying low in the cut trying to learn - royalties, points, everything.

I always wanted to be a writer. In the beginning, I thought I had to rewrite 'Gone with the Wind,' but eventually, I found my way and realized that wasn't me.

I didn't like it in the beginning, but later on, if I was in Jerry West's shoes, I would do the same thing. I would trade myself for Kobe, no-brainer.
