I like to go to America. That's where I go for most of my holidays.

Before my mother died, she told me not to leave Chelsea.

Barcelona are my favourite team in Spain, let's put it that way...

I think as far as kids go, you just have to work hard. Work on your skills, keep focused.

Goals never come easy. No one gives you goals.

I can't stress the importance of working hard enough, work on all aspects of your game. If you does that and you have the ability, you'll come through.

I think about all my successes and failures and sometimes the failures stick in your head as much as the wins. But you do move on.

I am a man who likes to play consistently; I always play better when I'm on a run of games.

If I lose the ball, I lose it trying to do the right thing. That's the way it is.

When you take a lot of stick you want to ram it down people's throats.

I have never seen a player as driven and determined as me, quietly determined; that's why I always want to do the best.

That is when you know you have reached the point of no return, when you began to stalk a ghost.

I regret all the prayers that do not shed tears.

Sacred blessings and divine opportunities appear in your life disguised as unforeseen changes and challenging circumstances.

For 10 or 11 years, I had my kids, I wrote four or five books, and I was working all the damn time.

Unlike the sun, intellectual luminaries shine brightest after they set.

I hate the sight of blood, but it's in my veins.

I put the words down and push them a bit.

Before using a fine word, make a place for it.

Sometimes a good feeling from inside is worth much more than a beautician.

A washing machine needs constant maintenance. It doesn't want any harm. It wants tranquility, and you need someone to - you're not going to harm it by continuously monitoring it and adjusting it.
