It's really great, winning some tournaments and leading the American group. It gives me a boost and a ton of confidence.
I often think about the Boca attitude, what Boca means across the world, and about how many times they've won games you say they've lost, only for them to come back like Boca can.
Sometimes at my performances, I see Peruvian flags in the audience. I've never seen, when an Italian sings, people with Italian flags. But with Peru, it's different: because there are not many famous people, they really celebrate the ones they have.
I think it is good for youngsters to see me at 45 still jogging around the track. If me being here gives them a boost then thats great.
I want to see the Memphis flags waving on the cars. I want to see the T-shirts going again, the hats going again like the old school days, and that's what we want to take it back to.
I'm from Anderson, S.C., but I grew up in the South. So I know what it is to ride to school and have Confederate flags flying from trucks in front of me and behind me, to see a parking lot full of people with Confederate flags and know what that means. I've been stopped by police for no reason.
I've played [Scrabble] tournaments for about 20 years. My daughter, Erin, who lives with me, also travels to tournaments. While I'm not a top division player, I've won a number of tournaments.
I never said I was going to play for Boca but rather that, if I went back to Argentina to play, I would do so for only one team, and that's Boca.
It was natural for me to go to local tournaments with my mother and watch my brothers compete and sometimes be left with my mom at home while my dad would take my brothers away to different tournaments and competitions. So I started doing everything they did.
We don't have that many tournaments so sponsorship from logos is another way of helping boost your income.
I really do see the good in people, and I don't want to change that. That's really how I view things, so sometimes I'll look past a lot of huge red flags because I see something else in someone. Then, of course, it always comes back to haunt me in the long run.
People sometimes wear shirts that are really boxy, and you can see them over the top of their trousers, which doesn't look right to me.
When you see the fans supporting you even more passionately, arriving early to cheer you on the bus, it definitely gives you an extra boost.
For goalkeepers, confidence comes from games and minutes. So whenever someone gives you an opportunity or shows faith in you, it always gives you a boost.
I had an encyclopedia with a list of flags in the back, so I would look at all these flags of China and Liberia and England and Denmark and whatever, and I learned all the different flags, and I tried to imagine what it would be like to be voyaging on some of these ships.
