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.

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 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.

My dad shaped the footballing side of me, and Mum shaped me as a person. I've always been very close to her - we've only ever had one argument, and that was over something stupid when I was 13.

If you say that you never lie in life, you honestly insult my intelligence.

Even the snow melts, let alone the frugal regards of a soul confident in its own eternity.

It runs in the blood like wooden legs.

I believe that for peace a man may, even should, do everything in his power. Nothing in this world could rank higher than peace.

You can either have software quality or you can have pointer arithmetic, but you cannot have both at the same time.

The 'Libertarian' thing was a mistake on my part for saying it, but I am.

There is no such thing as a peace of soul approach to religion. It makes of God a gigantic Bayer Aspirin; take God three times a day and you won't feel any pain.

The difference between a pebble and a mountain lies in whom you ask to move it.

I don't think you can bury words. I think the more you try to dismiss them, the more power you give to them, the more circulation they have.

Debate is healthy and no one in this chamber - starting with me - has a monopoly on being right.
