In 1962, my injury wasn't because of violence; I just kicked the ball and it happened. And that was OK because Brazil won; I didn't have any difficulty in accepting that. I still got a medal because I'd played two games.
I sometimes lie awake at night and wonder why I am still so popular and, to be honest, I don't know.
All my life I thank God. My family was very religious.
I always think that I would have become an actor if I hadn't been a soccer player.
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.
Pele doesn't die. Pele will never die. Pele is going to go on for ever.
