Sacrifice counts for a lot in sport. From a young age, I couldn't do the normal things that the boys of my age get to do. Maybe you have a nice car or a nice house, but at times you just want to be a normal guy and you can't.

I can win the Ballon d'Or, but only if Messi's level drops a bit. It will be very complicated to do so if he keeps up his current form. I really believe I can win the award, but there's not much I can do if Messi maintains this level.
Mario Balotelli
When I decide to score, I score. I know I am strong, but I believe it is not enough yet. I can kick fine, dribble very well, but I still have to improve.
Mario Balotelli

Racism springs from ignorance.
Mario Balotelli
When I wasn't famous, I had a lot of friends, almost all of them Italian. The racism only started when I started to play football.
Mario Balotelli
I'm a naturalized Italian, but I'm from Ghana. I was abandoned by my parents and adopted by two angels. I suffer with racism everyday. I'm the first black to wear the jersey of Italy. I'm not angry, but my life experiencies make me act differently from other people. Then, try to learn more before you criticize me.
Mario Balotelli
You can't delete racism. It's like a cigarette. You can't stop smoking if you don't want to, and you can't stop racism if people don't want to. But I'll do everything I can to help.
Mario Balotelli
When I lose my temper it's because I decide to. If I do something it's because I want to do it.
Mario Balotelli
Inside me I'm Ghanaian, and I'm proud to be African. But of course I'm Italian. I was born in Italy. I've never been to Africa in my life, but I will go one day.
Mario Balotelli
Many stories are invented about me - too many stories almost everyone uses me, and I'd say about 0.01 percent of the gossip is true.
Mario Balotelli
I will not accept racism at all. It's unacceptable. If someone throws a banana at me in the street, I will go to jail, because I will kill them.
Mario Balotelli
Jumps like a black man and grabs coins like a Jew.
Mario Balotelli
I am different - if you can find another like me, then I will buy you dinner!
Mario Balotelli
I know I have a responsibility as a role model to children and I try to fulfill that.
