I'm going to miss his childlike laugh. I'll forget the goals but I'll never forget that laugh.

It's an incredible rise to stardom. At 17 you're more likely to get a call from Michael Jackson than England manager Sven Goran Eriksson.

If I was English I'd kill myself

I'm just going to crumble like a wreck. I'll go home, become an alcoholic and maybe! jump of a bridge.

I want players who are always striving to improve.

You people sometimes are like those serial killers you see in films who cut out the words 'I am going to get you' or 'your wife is next'.

People talk about how you make team spirit - is it golf days or going out drinking together? That doesn't count. When you drink, you just tell lies to each other anyway and talk rubbish.

Believe me, you need good people if you want to make good players.

If you keep asking me questions, I will continue to find excuses.

Good players win you games, good formations stop you losing them.

Sometimes to go forward you've got to go to the depths of your own personal despair and claw yourself back. From that point, no matter what happens, you know you can do it.

Let the love not escape from within.

I've realised now that the reality of children is you have to be in the right place with the right person.

The monstrous act by definition demands a monster.

That's the thing about parents. They ask what you think, but they don't really care, or at least they don't care enough to let it affect the outcome.

From my parent's generation the idea was not that marriage was about some kind of idealized, romantic love. It was a partnership. It's about creating family. It's about creating offspring.

Distance is temporary, but our love is permanent. This may be the last time I see you, but if you keep me in your heart, together we shall be eternal; if you believe, we shall never part.

Sometimes one of us will have a riff or a bass line from home but it really gels when we come together. We really have a strong special chemistry that we take advantage of when we get together.

I think we should all earn our place in the world. [...] We owe the world something. We owe the world everything.

Different development itself runs the threat of making life shapeless.

I have a lot of frustration with religion, organized religion, because it's man-made, because it's man-regulated. And it has nothing to do with my relationship with God.
