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.
Luis Suarez
I want to change the bad boy image that has stuck for a bit because I don't think I am at all how I have been portrayed. I would like that to change because it's awful to hear and read what is said of you.
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.
My wife says that if people reach conclusions as to what I am like based on what they see from me on the pitch they would say I am a guy who is always annoyed, always in a bad mood, they'd say what must it be like to live with me. There are two of me, two different people.
There are only three million people in Uruguay, but there is such hunger for glory: you'll do anything to make it; you have that extra desire to run, to suffer. I can't explain our success, but I think that's a reason.
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.
I am obviously a striker who likes to score a lot of goals and have done that in every team I have been with.
When I say, 'I'm sorry,' it's because I regret something.
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.
I will give my soul every game.
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.
Away from the pitch, I'm a very calm person. I maybe have the odd cross word with my wife, like any relationship, but that's it.
Injuries are not only a physical question, which is the most important thing, of course, but also a question of your mind. If you're thinking: 'I'm not going to make it', 'I can't cope', 'it hurts', 'it's never going to get better', then it won't.
I'm not going to another club to hurt Liverpool.
Of course I don't like the fact that my wife goes to the supermarket and there are photographers. But I realise that the press attention is the same wherever you go.
I have to put my career first.
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 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.
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.
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.
Every forward is selfish, and any forward who tells you he is not selfish is a liar.
I'm used to being the main goal scorer, but I also always like to help.
I always want more. I always want my team to perform to their best.
I'm an emotional person, and I externalise my feelings a lot with some things, but I'm strong with others.
If you score 20 goals one season, then you have to promise yourself that in the following season you will get 25.
I've scored many goals that I've liked, but I think the best memory I have is the one against Korea in the 2010 World Cup.
Every player would love to get to the absolute top, and Real Madrid is it.
At clubs like Liverpool, great players come and go.
Every soccer player can be on the edge, at the limit, be the bad guy. We have to get used to it. Sometimes I am one of those.
It is always a bit hypocritical when a defender who spends the whole game kicking you complains of being kicked.
On the field, sometimes passion overwhelms you, and you do things you regret afterward.
'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.
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.
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.
If you don't speak Spanish, then don't accuse me of insulting you in that language, let alone insulting you ten times.
I wanted my children to be able to see me play at the World Cup.
I need to be playing in the Champions League.
Liverpool will always be special for me: my daughter was born here.
There are people who criticise me, and that's normal because of the way I am on the pitch. I get angry, I get tense.
Coaches have told me I can help the team much more if I don't talk, if I don't moan.
On the pitch, I argue, I shout, I talk rubbish and generally do anything I can to get ahead.
Nobody in England knows the real Luis Suarez.
It disturbs me that Liverpool are not in the Champions League and fighting for the Premier League.
Obviously, being a forward, I would like to score more goals. But while the team does well, there is no problem.
If you win while scoring goals, then you leave happy, but the most important thing is always the team. I do not think just of me.
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.
When you feel you've done something wrong, you should apologise for it.
I understand why biting is seen so badly.
