I think what I've actually achieved as a manager does sometimes get a bit overlooked, because all people think about is the media side of things. They tend to forget I've not done so bad.

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

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.

Eden is a factory and human was a reject.We are being recalled in order to be fixed.

I'm not really a fashion designer. I just love clothes. I've never been to design school. I can't sketch. I can't cut patterns and things. I can shorten things. I can make a dress out of a scarf.

Real success is not on the stage, but off the stage as a human being, and how you get along with your fellow man.

There is no one so lonely than a man who loves only himself.

You can't really get into regular football after you watch Australian rules football because it's just two different ends of the totem pole.

I believe a person of any fine feeling scarcely ever sees a new face without a sensation akin to a shock, for the reason that it presents a new and surprising combination of unedifying elements.

Power confuses itself with virtue and tends also to take itself for omnipotence.

Writing a memoir isn't particularly interesting to me. I'm not like Ellen [DeGeneres], where I can write, 'Water bottles--they're crazy!' and it's funny.

LOL has turned into something you type when you have nothing better to add into a conversation.

A play should give you something to think about. When I see a play and understand it the first time, then I know it can't be much good.
