I just hope he doesn't frighten the players 'cos they're frigtened enough right now.

They have a few drinks, and maybe the prawn sandwiches, and they don't realise what's going on out on the pitch.

No celebrity bullshit,no self promotion,an amazingly gifted player who remained an unaffected human being

If it had come to a fight, Patrick [Vieira] could probably have killed me.

People say 'go with the flow' but do you know what goes with the flow? Dead fish.

Aggression is what I do. I go to war. You don't contest football matches in a reasonable state of mind.

I don't believe skill was, or ever will be, the result of coaches. It is a result of a love affair between the child and the ball.

I got Robbie's mobile number and rang him. It went to his voicemail: 'Hi, it's Robbie - whazzup!' Like the Budweiser ad. I never called him back. I thought: 'I can't be f****** signing that'.

Fail to prepare, prepare to fail.

I don't think some of the people who come to Old Trafford can spell football, never mind understand it.

I'm not at Manchester United to keep everyone happy.

My aloneness had never bothered me

the costume of the nineteenth century is detestable. It is so sombre, so depressing. Sin is the only real colour-element left in modern life.

I cannot think that we are useless or God would not have created us.

I'm very arrogant and mean. I'm almost like a bad guy professional wrestler.

The role of silence is to create the space where we encounter the silent Presence.

Seth was a wonderful kisser. He gave the kind of kisses that melted into your mouth and filled you with sweetness. They were like cotton candy.

I played a lot of football when I was younger. I'm a good receiver, actually.
