"Playing against Celtic, I thrived on the boos and the pressure. That’s the kind of player I was—I loved it."
"The first thing some people go to when they’re angry is your skin colour. It’s not right, but it’s their problem, not mine."
"I teach my kids that it’s water off a duck’s back. What someone else says about your skin colour doesn’t define you."
