If someone criticizes me, I strike back.
— Romario
Strikers are egotists, selfish. We have to be.
The tendency of everyone is to evolve.
I'll never forget my friends and where I came from.
When I was born, the man in the sky pointed to me and said, 'That's the guy.'
The night has always been my friend. When I go out I feel good, then I always score goals.
Officially I'm not playing any more. I've stopped. My time is up. Everything has been a lot of fun.
I have scored against every team, every country, every defender in the world.
I pay my own bills. I feel my own pain.
Will I become a coach in the future? No way. I'd never be able to put up with someone like me.
When things are really good, really easy it's not cool for me.
I'm genuine and people can believe what I say.
I'm like any Brazilian: I like to go out and enjoy myself.
God created me to delight people with my goals.
I have my way of doing things.
We Brazilians, happily or unhappily, leave a lot to the last minute.
I defend the Brazilian people.
I'm inspired by challenges. My life was always like this.
I like to say it like it is.
I'm happy because I won't have to train again, or travel or sit in team hotels.
