I always practise penalties, but what people don't understand is that you can never recreate that pressure situation that you're under.

Newcastle fans never cease to amaze me. If there was a trophy for best supporters this lot would win it hands down every year.

Basically, a manager is a father figure to 20 or 25 blokes. It's about trying to get the best out of them and creating team spirit.

If you ask footballers to pick out the player they most admire, so many of them will pick Paul Scholes.

My motto in life is 'if you give 100 per cent then no one can ask any more'.

I have always said that the best feeling in the world is scoring a goal. Don't tell my missus that, but it is. When that ball hits the back of the net, it is fantastic.

Defeat is not worth thinking about.

Football's not just about scoring goals - it's about winning.

I don't know what I'd have become if I hadn't been a footballer; I wrote down 'dustbin man' on a careers questionnaire at school till my dad made me change it to 'joiner'.

I've never wanted to leave. I'm here for the rest of my life, and hopefully after that as well.

If you want to have a great party at Wembley, don't invite the Germans.

There is some good in this world, and it's worth fighting for.

The only thing worse than a known enemy is an unfriendly friend. You place your trust on him or her as a friend, not knowing that you are placing your trust on a secret enemy.

To dream! Such dreams certainly make life more worth living... and only dreams can do that for me.

Success doesn't necessarily mean happiness.

From the Zen view all beings are in the grip of the three poisons, greed, anger and delusion (ignorance).

I wouldn't write any kind of book without a contract and an advance. You can't invest that amount of time and effort without one.

Everyone has a little bit of Howard and Chad in them. I think there's Christine in all men as well.

It is our responsibility to leave the people of the future a free hand.

You can be anything you want to be, and you can start today, instead of waiting for some opportunity.

That's sort of a trick question, and I don't have a trick answer. Next question, please.
