In Brazil, we think we can help by using our image, the fact that we are very well known, to help others. I think lots of footballers want to do something, but many don't know how.

Every opportunity that presents itself, my main objective is to conquer and be victorious.
I learned that it is faith that decides whether something will happen or not.
Mourinho helped me grow. He taught me to be patient, to keep fighting, and to respect the coach's decisions. He helped me mature and turned me into a man.
I am always grateful to my team-mates at Milan for what we achieved.
My time at Real Madrid wasn't a failure. I played 120 matches, I scored 28 goals, and I played an average of 30 games a season. What's more, I won three trophies: La Liga, a Copa del Rey, and a Supercopa de Espana.
I would love to have a career like Zinedine Zidane. He stopped playing, took some time, realised he liked coaching, and started working in the youth academy. I could follow a similar path.
The World Cup is a competition in which everything needs to work to your advantage. Players need to be fit, decisions have to go in your favour, and details such as a red card can cost a team dearly.
Often, players at clubs I have been at have asked me for prayers or advice. I prefer to show them things rather than to say things; with my actions, not my words.
In football, there are good and bad times, but if you are a great side, you can be confident of winning trophies again.
Let's say I don't need to chase the ball as much as before. You learn to find the shortcuts.
I grew up with the Bible education, and my values come from there.
I have been a big admirer of Coutinho, and he can be a very important player for Liverpool and Brazil.
When I do an interview, when I appear on camera, I want to be the same person as the one you meet personally and say, 'He is really the same person I saw on television.'
It's incredible to win an individual award in a team sport and also one where everybody wants to be able to say, 'I'm the best.'
When I'm struggling, I can still dream about my successes.
It's important for me to keep improving.
One day, I hope I can play in MLS.
My best Champions League moment was when Milan won in 2007 against Liverpool. That was the biggest moment for me in the Champions League.
It's not easy to decide what is best for you in the future.
I have been in many teams that have had loads of talent but did not make it through and been with teams that did not have that much talent and ended up being champions.
Jose Mourinho was a difficult coach for me, and we had a respectful but complicated relationship. When I thought he would give me a chance, I couldn't prove to him that I was in good shape.
When things go well, everyone talks well of you and vice versa. Unfortunately, football is like that.
I learned to respect the coach and to do everything within my power to show that I should be the one playing. That's exactly what I did during my three years under Mourinho.
I like the idea of playing with a bit more tactical freedom, either in a deeper role or supporting the strikers more often.
When I talk to my colleagues from the national team, they always talk to me about Real Madrid.
I do want to live my life in the right way and live my life close to God.
I am always in love with Milan. The relationship with the team, with the club, and with these fans is beautiful. It's weird for a Brazilian to have a relationship like that with an Italian club.
It sounds like a cliche, but without a strong group, you win nothing in football.
In a year without the World Cup, the national leagues and the Champions League have much more weight.
At Real Madrid, everything gets taken to extremes, as much for the good things as the bad things, so you have to adapt to the way that the press and the fans live through different situations.
I stayed in Milan for six years. I stayed in Madrid for four years. I played in Brazil for nine years, so I always think about the good projects.
I know it's hard to follow the example of another team in the same country, but that's what you have to do sometimes.
For a player it's an amazing experience to be at Real Madrid. I matured a lot there, principally as a person.
I like Seedorf. He is a good coach.
In Italy, the coaches are very attentive to the details. They really study things, and that is a big difference here. They look at your movement, your positioning. They study you and work out how to stop you.
I have overcome many difficult moments in my career.
In 2009, I accepted the proposal of Real Madrid, but I was completely destroyed there because I could not give what I had given Milan. I was completely lost.
Football is unpredictable.
The best player I have ever played with? That's Ronaldo, il Fenomeno.
At Madrid, pressure is normal.
In my time at Milan, the club played with a 4-3-1-2 formation, and I was the player behind the two strikers. At Real, I play behind three. There is a greater defensive obligation, but I try to work around the area.
Neymar will never fail to have technique and creativity.
A World Cup without Argentina isn't good.
Each goal I score is exciting.
His ambition for victory sets Mourinho apart. He wants to win every game, so he prepares all the smallest details; in training, at the game, everything. I loved to work with him.
I am not a great artist like Maradona was with regards to on-the-field matters.
It's nice to play in America.
I'm very happy with where I arrived, both personally and professionally. I can say more so personally, because my career will have to end eventually. I do not know how long it will be, but eventually it will end, and the personal will continue.
I'm not just about being an ambassador of Christ. I'm here also, talking with friends, being the same person that I always am.
