If I'm out shopping and someone talks to me, I get startled, as I'm not a natural celebrity.

If you constantly dwell on the past that's where you end up living.

I've always been very hopeful but I also know that as long as you've got a good work ethic, almost anything is achievable and I learned that in the armed forces.

I like to live life in an understated way because that's who I am - an ordinary guy who has experienced an extraordinary journey.

After I was injured, I had several good examples of "Get on with it, stop whinging and life can be what you make it," because the world doesn't stop turning when you have a boo-boo.

When I bought out my first autobiography I received the biggest tax bill of my life.

I prefer cash but so many places only take cards these days, it forces you down a line and I don't like that.

Recovery is a bit like an addiction; you take it day by day. If you set yourself too many goalposts, you'll have problems.

When I get angry, I start thinking about the people involved and they don't deserve my time.

I've had well-paid jobs, but in comparison to what footballers earn, I've not earned serious money.

Everyone in my family was a very serious worker, always with a determination to provide for each other.

Everything is going to be fine now because heroes are here.

A generous friendship no cold medium knows, Burns with one love, with one resentment glows.

I'm not a bad guy! I work hard, and I love my kids. So why should I spend half my Sunday hearing about how I'm going to Hell?

Life may not be perfect, at least it offered moments that were perfect enough.

Don't be afraid to assert yourself, have confidence in your abilities and don't let the bastards get you down.

Always, in your career and personal life, be evolving with technology.

Golf is an expensive way to make yourself miserable.

Life is to blame for everything.

When I watch TV, I'm embarrassed by some of what's on.

I grew up in an artists community in New York, in a building that was government-subsidised for artists. No one made any money, but they made art for the sake of art.
