If I don't get the service or if I don't the ball in the box, where I want it, I start drifting into midfield. I go and look for the ball. I try to be important for the team in other areas.

But really, I can only be dangerous for the team in one place, and that is in the box.

I feel very strong as an individual, but as a famous footballer I know I am prone to certain things. All the media have a continuous interest for me. It varies from once a year to every day interest.

I let people say and write what they want.

Losing is not in my vocabulary.

We have to be thankful to the Czechs that they did their duty. The Czech Republic won, I can't believe it. It was a huge party with all the people here.

Life is a strange mixture of all of these genres, she mused, and it doesn’t have nearly as neat and happy an ending as you often get in books.

A lot of filmmaking is all about filtering out the bullshit.

You can learn all sorts of rules and techniques of writing and still not be able to assemble something beautiful or enchanting.

When you're a foreigner, at the beginning you are far away from the culture. Then, little by little, you start to interact with people, have friends, have a life, and then you feel more comfortable.

I've noticed from my fans that we hide the things that we are facing.

P.S. You'll have to meet with Dan's principal when you get back. He got in trouble for doing ninja moves in class. Don't worry. This happens all the time.

With cats, some say, one rule is true: Don't speak till you are spoken to.

But trailing clouds of glory do we come, From God, who is our home: Heaven lies about us in our infancy!.
