I wasn't particularly good at showing my emotions and I kept things inside. It's not good. Now I realize that whenever I want to cry, I cry.
I try not to cry in front of people that might get very emotional. I try to cry by myself. When I'm in a comfortable place, I don't hold anything inside. I just let it out, and I feel better afterwards.
I am a man who is on a journey and cancer has joined me on that journey... my goal is to keep walking, keep moving until he's had enough and leaves me alone.
Conte can't wait to leave Chelsea. He can't stand that they sell or buy players without consulting him.
I never want to make the people dearest to me suffer: my parents, my brothers and my sister, my wife Cathryn, our children Olivia and Sofia.
One of the important things, which I wrote on yellow post-it notes and stuck on the wall during therapy, was that we are the product of our own thoughts.
Clubs have sponsors. They are just there for commercial reasons but the club calls them partners. Then you have the fans. The fans are emotionally involved, they are loyal, and the clubs call them customers. I think fans owning a share of the club would mean the owners know what 'customers' really think and feel.
The only way you can play with three strikers - which we did at Juventus - is if the three work really hard, and become the first defenders.
I never meditated before. I wish I'd started when I was a footballer or more importantly when I was a manager. It might have saved me from insanity.
As a player I had the opportunity twice a week to play football in front of thousands of people and I could make them happy by just scoring a goal.
It's because of football that I bought my first car, I bought my first house and I probably had sex for the first time... actually, that was definitely because of football.
The defenders can be clever and use everything within the laws of the game to stop the strikers scoring goals and, while some pulling is allowed, you need to be clever.
You realize just by writing down everything you own that it's just materialistic stuff. We are much more than that.
I have my family. I've got the love of my wife, my daughters and friends, people who like me, think about me and send me prayers and positive energy.
When you meet people you don't want them to look at you and say 'poor you.' I just wanted to be treated like a normal person.
I tried to start looking at things differently; I tried to surround myself with positive energy. Meditation helped, exercising, writing, reading and learning new things.
I don't think Italian football is a particularly appealing product for anyone that wants to invest unless they are Italians that understand exactly what goes on in our country and the way things are done.
If I was a wealthy foreigner I wouldn't want to invest in Italy because there are so many uncertainties, all the scandals related to corruption and match-fixing.
I am glad to see there are some football clubs that are trying to change the trend and move it towards a British way of running clubs, obviously with a very strong Italian identity.
Italian football lost credibility because of the match-fixing scandals - the best footballers didn't want to come.
I knew that was going to be the last chance to play in the Champions League final - I was desperate to win, I put a lot of pressure on myself. Finally I got hold of that cup - it was the defining moment of my career. I got really emotional and nearly fainted on the pitch.
I still get upset if the pasta is not cooked how I like it, but I've learned to put things into context.
I don't like thinking 'Why me, why me, why me?' when I was diagnosed with cancer because that would be hypocritical. I didn't say 'Why me?' when I was one in a thousand who made it as a professional footballer.
It is only when you are afraid that you can be courageous. So if you don't overcome any fear, how can you find out who you really are?
It's the inability to handle the pressure that makes a big difference between the Italian players and the England players when it comes to the World Cup stage.
The Italian players, they eat pressure for breakfast, so they grow up with a lot of pressure and they know how to handle it.
I think England are a very exciting side because they have got so many young, talented, creative players, playing up front.
If other teams want to score they must know they have to get past all 11 players. It's a simple philosophy.
Management is about improving your relationship with the players and the journalists, about learning to read a game better so that you can make changes.
