I grew up an Everton fan, my whole family are Everton fans and I grew up hating Liverpool. And that hasn't changed.

I love football, football is my life.

Just to confirm to all my followers I have had a hair transplant. I was going bald at 25 why not.

I just hate losing and that gives you an extra determination to work harder.

I love football so when I finish playing I would like to still be involved in it somehow and a ­manager would be my first choice.

I always like to be a step ahead of the audience by surprising them and the best way to do that is to not hold back.

Haruhi: This story has everything but the kitchen sink in it.

Even if they're functioning out of ignorance, they are still participating and must be suppressed. In China, even one million people can be considered a small sum.

Everybody cheats, I just didn't know.

I had always loved John Ford's pictures. And I came to love him, too, but I was frightened to death working for him. He used the shock treatment while directing me.

Bandwagoning is a strategy for the weak.

There's part of me that's grateful for the delusion, because it takes a very hard shell to get started as an actor, and I don't have a very hard shell.
