I'm like everyone else: I want to play every game, but it's not possible.

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.

You’re the prettiest thing I’ve seen fall from the sky today.

One generation might like you, then 15 years later the next is responding to somebody else.

The birds, the poets of the animal creation - what though they never get beyond the lyrical! - awoke to utter their own joy, and awake like joy in others of God's children.

Well, in some ways we're not successful at all. We're destroying our home. That's not a bit successful.

I'm a happy person but an angry citizen.

Courage? The moment when my troubles are going to end is not the moment when my courage is going to fail me.

There is little hope for us until we become tough-minded enough to break loose from the shackles of prejudice, half-truths, and down-right ignorance.

Good-Bye is an easy word to say but try saying it to a friend. If I never knew you, I'd be safe, but half as real, never knowing I could feel.

True #leadership isn't the bastion of a few who sit at the top ... We all need to step up, take the risk and put our interests second-not always-but when it counts.

"What is good for a bootless bene?" With these dark words begins my tale; And their meaning is, Whence can comfort spring When prayer is of no avail?
