I took what I've been given, and I got where I did on the basis of something that is often undervalued - merit.
— Gianluigi Buffon
I have not lost an awful lot in my life, but the defeats have taught me more than the victories. Whenever I lose, I focus on the ability of my opponent and on the mistakes I made.
I believe in doing the right things; that is my character and personality.
Not looking for excuses is the right thing to do. I have made a lot of mistakes, and I still make mistakes, but I am not ashamed to look for the reasons behind those mistakes.
