Ballotelli on his views on racism
"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 talking about his heratige
"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."
Balotelli airing his views on politics
"I don't follow politics; it doesn't interest me. So why should I vote?"
Super Mario said this during an interview building up to the Euro 2012 final
"I will invite Shakira to the final, so she can see what I do to her boyfriend (Gerard Pique)"
Jack Wilshire has always been projected as England's Golden Boy, but Mario had the last say!
"Jack who? No, I don't know him but the next time I play against Arsenal I will keep a close eye on him. Perhaps I can show him the Golden Boy trophy and remind him that I won it.'
Balotelli talking about what fuels him
"You speak bad of me, I score goals."
The most famous Balotelli quote of them all – Mario tells the press why he doesn't celebrate goals
"When I score, I don't celebrate because I'm only doing my job. When a postman delivers letters, does he celebrate?"
