I'm just reading through an old interview of Buffon http://www.cabinetmagazine.org/issues/19/deball.php and if you read it, you will see his answers are literally monologues. Its like he wants to say 1000 things in one sentence. Is this how he is in real life? Or is this a fake interview? just take a look at one of his answers: "I like to think that I am a buffoon, a clown, entrusted with the task of entertaining people, playing a very stupid role. I'm often blamed for playing dirty tricks, like if I suddenly start kicking the ball outside my area, forgetting my position at the goal. Being a clown is also a question of playing with the rules. If you play with the rules, you may become a joker or a criminal, but in a sense you change people's own rules of thinking. Many people don't like the way I play; they think I am overacting, screaming too much, trying to win the attention of the cameras, but I do that intentionally to maintain the link between sport and the notion that it is truly just a circus. Anyway, everyone knows that barking dogs don't bite."
