My first season at Liverpool had good moments but also bad ones. We played three tournaments and we played two finals, and that was good.
— Luis Suarez
I have a very strange way of playing football.
I want to do things right. I really, really do.
Put 'Luis Suarez' into an Internet search engine, and up comes the word 'racist.' It's a stain that is there for ever. And it is one that I feel I do not deserve.
It is always a bit hypocritical when a defender who spends the whole game kicking you complains of being kicked.
I have always preferred to keep things to myself rather than sharing them with anyone, but I am learning that if you let it go, you feel better for it. Don't keep it all bottled up inside; don't take it all on alone.
After my 10-match ban in 2013 for biting Branislav Ivanovic, I had questioned the double standards and how the fact that no one actually gets hurt is never taken into consideration.
My parents separated when I was nine, but my father was always around, and he still follows me now. He is always sending me messages.
People ask, 'How can you let a defeat hurt you so much?' But it comes back to the effort you have put into your career as a youngster.
Every player feels differently about playing football. We are all different people. I am the type who wants to win all the time. I hate to lose.
It's especially important for my little girl to see her papa at work.
I think Liverpool have a long history with many great players. I hope one day to be up there with those great players. I'll try my best to write some history here.
I've been booed in Holland and in Uruguay - as a professional footballer, you need to have thick skin and just get used to it.
The only thing I want is the respect of the fans of Liverpool and the fans of the national team of Uruguay.
When I was a kid, I had to fight for everything.
I'm not going to another club to hurt Liverpool.
When you feel you've done something wrong, you should apologise for it.
I have been hit from all sides, and I'm only human. They have ended up talking about the way I look, and it hurts. I have a family, and they suffer, too. It has gone over the limit, and I am tired of it. I have a wife and child, too, and I am not prepared to go on putting up with it English journalists.
Of course I would like to play with Cristiano Ronaldo - he is a great player.
A forward always has to help the team, either with assists or goals.
If you don't speak Spanish, then don't accuse me of insulting you in that language, let alone insulting you ten times.
All I can say is that I have arrived with the desire to be a success at Barca, that I am hungry to win titles.
When I was a kid, I got sent off for head-butting a referee: I ran 50m to argue a decision, I was shown a red card, and I head-butted him. I'm really not proud of that.
At clubs like Liverpool, great players come and go.
I normally try to be tranquil on the pitch.
I've been obsessed by football since I was young.
I much prefer being told off by Brendan Rodgers than by my wife. Brendan is more careful than my wife with what he says.
I never imagined playing in El Clasico. I used to watch the games and look at photos, and I used to say how incredible to play in it was.
I think all the bad things I have been through are in the past. I believe I am on the right path now, dealing with the people who can help me, the right kind of people.
I don't read the papers or watch TV.
I had a really hard time growing up; we were a large family, and we didn't have much money at home.
My record shows that I'm not the kind of player who wants to change clubs every season, and I would have no problem playing in England for many more years.
Everyone has different ways of defending themselves.
I think the people who really know who Luis is are the people who are by my side, who have always been by my side.
I'm my own severest critic, and I realize when I make mistakes.
Every forward is selfish, and any forward who tells you he is not selfish is a liar.
I am obviously a striker who likes to score a lot of goals and have done that in every team I have been with.
'Negro' can refer to anyone with dark hair as well as dark skin, and I've been used to the word being used in Spanish in this way all my life.
When I say, 'I'm sorry,' it's because I regret something.
Sometimes English football takes pride in having the lowest yellow-card count in Europe, but of course it will have if you can take someone's leg off and still not be booked.
I always want more. I always want my team to perform to their best.
If you score 20 goals one season, then you have to promise yourself that in the following season you will get 25.
Barcelona are always a candidate to win the Champions League.
When I was playing for Nacional in Montevideo, the players who lived outside the city would be given money by the club to get there and back on the bus.
It's important for the team not to be relying on one player.
When I was a kid, there were some people around me who were a bad influence. When I met my girlfriend Sofia, who is now my wife, I think it all changed. She was very important for me, because she steered me back on to the path I wanted to be on.
I still sleep soundly every night. I'm not worried about everything people say.
It was very hard for me as a kid to get through as a footballer in Uruguay.
I was asked a question: 'Would I want to play for Madrid?' It's like anyone asked if they want to change jobs and move to a bigger company.
I understand why biting is seen so badly.
