If I finish tomorrow and look back on the past years, I' d say, 'that wasn't bad'.

If I was English would I be respected a bit more? Yes, I think so, that's the truth.

The press keep asking me but I will stop when I stop scoring. The problem is football is very ageist. When you reach 30, they keep talking about your age.

I am not a player to have regrets. I should have stayed at certain clubs longer, but I don't regret.

England was never my home. I had a home there but Dublin is my home so leaving Ireland was the hardest thing I had to do.

In many ways Roy Keane is bigger than One Direction.

I've never been asked to do a collaboration. I guess I just don't give off that come-and-get-me vibe. I wouldn't be adverse to doing one with Coldplay or U2 - anyone who sells 50 million albums.

Life and death: they are one, at core entwined. Who understands himself from his own strain presses himself into a drop of wine and throws himself into the purest flame.

Where did you learn to ride anyway? Disasters-R-Us? (Tory)

Knowing can be a curse on a person's life. I'd traded in a pack of lies for a pack of truth, and I didn't know which one was heavier.

Whatever happens on the golf course is OK, because if I put the ball in trouble I know that I have the skills to get it out of trouble and back into play.

I'm crazy for trying, crazy for crying, and I'm crazy for loving you.
