I don't particularly enjoy watching international football in the way that I used to. It hurts me to say that, but it's true.

I feel that every time I get the ball at the moment I am going to score.

There is no doubt that I would have won more honours had I signed for Manchester United as a youngster.

I don't want to be modelling G-strings. It's not that good for my image – I'm a footballer not a tart

Nobody on this planet had a range of passing like Paul Scholes. Training every day was a pleasure just watching him. Unbelievable career.

I don't believe in superstitions. I just do certain things because I'm scared in case something will happen if I don't do them

If you only ever give 90% in training then you will only ever give 90% when it matters.

I hate to admit this but I don't even know how to make a cup of tea or coffee. I can boil a kettle for a pot noodle and I've been known to warm up some food in the microwave.

To stay in the game, you have to stay in the game.

To be the best you have to forget partying and concentrate all your energies on the football.

You need people who score goals. That's how you win games

Peace and love, that's what we all need.

These are our neighbours, our co-workers, friends' children... the problem is closer than you think, but so is the solution.

I'm not letting any 17 year old beat me tonight

Freedom!- is the fatuous jingle of our civilization, but only those deprived of it have the barest inkling re: what the stuff actually is.

That the greatest security of the people, against the encroachments and usurpations of their superiors, is to keep the Spirit of Liberty constantly awake, is an undeniable truth

The sincere Christian knows that what died in Auschwitz was not the Jewish people but Christianity.

I think a story should take as long to tell as it is appropriate to that particular story.

I can find no warrant for such appropriation in the Constitution.

If God does nothing random, there must always be something to learn.

She said that she would dance with me if I brought her red roses but in all my garden there is no red rose.
