Pele

“When you are young, you do a lot of stupid things.”

“I always think that I would have become an actor if I hadn't been a soccer player.”

“Over the years I've learnt to live with two persons in my heart. One is Edson, who has fun with his friends and family; the other is the football player Pele. I didn't want the name. 'Pele' sounds like baby-talk in Portuguese.”

“Everything is practice.”

“Yes, I have a lot of business interests. But I don't work for just anyone, and I choose the companies very carefully.”

“Of course, my father was a soccer player. He used to play very good. Then, when I was young, eight or nine years old, ten years old, I just want to be like my father.”
