I was born to score goals, I feel.

I feel that every time I get the ball at the moment I am going to score.

There is no doubt that I would have won more honours had I signed for Manchester United as a youngster.

I don't want to be modelling G-strings. It's not that good for my image – I'm a footballer not a tart

Nobody on this planet had a range of passing like Paul Scholes. Training every day was a pleasure just watching him. Unbelievable career.

I don't believe in superstitions. I just do certain things because I'm scared in case something will happen if I don't do them

If you only ever give 90% in training then you will only ever give 90% when it matters.

I hate to admit this but I don't even know how to make a cup of tea or coffee. I can boil a kettle for a pot noodle and I've been known to warm up some food in the microwave.

To stay in the game, you have to stay in the game.

To be the best you have to forget partying and concentrate all your energies on the football.

You need people who score goals. That's how you win games

Buy what you love. Love those who can't be bought. Take in all the day has to offer. Give it all away.

Animal companions come into your life for an infinite number of reasons, each one being in service to you, your current life experience, and moreover, your soul's growth and evolution.

We too often bind ourselves by authorities rather than by the truth.

Those who return evil for good should not expect the kindness of others to last long.

To me, the object of practicing is to allow you to play what you hear. But you're always hearing new things, so you never get to the end of it.

You can steer yourself in any direction you choose.

Life is fullest when we are most true to ourselves.

Anybody can write a three-volume novel. It merely requires a complete ignorance of both life and literature.

Live in the past, but don't remember too much.

When you find yourself beginning to feel a bond between yourself and the people you photograph, when you laugh and cry with their laughter and tears, you will know you are on the right track.
