I had lots of posters on my bedroom wall of players like Zico, many Brazilian and Italian players, not many players in particular but I loved football so much and I especially loved skilful players.

At Arsenal me and Patrick (Vieira) didn't want to face Scholes. We would avoid him.

If you want to be a professional footballer, you have to respect your profession. You have to respect the people that are making you the star you are. You have to protect the passion every day.

I'd like to be a dog. Dogs are nice. They can sleep any time, they wag their tails and on top of that they can get stroked all the time.

France is hypocritical and cowardly. I sometimes think that, having been invaded by the Germans, we'd be run better today.

I do think that all politicians today have to be more attentive to people wanting to be heard, wanting to have more control over their lives.

Earth produces nothing worse than an ungrateful man.

Hillary Clinton has jeopardized. Totally jeopardized national security by putting her e-mails on a private server, all to hide her corrupt dealings.

It's astonishing what some women will put up with just to have a warm body. Some of the brightest women I know are just obsessed with that search. It's very sad.

For me personally, as I said, I want to serve my country. I've done it once, and I'm still in the army, I feel as though I should get the opportunity to do it again.
