If you pray for things, I am proof that they can happen. I want to repay the manager's faith in bringing me back. (on re-signing for Liverpool)

It sounds mercenary and it smacks of rats leaving the sinking ship. But get real, when everyone is bailing out, you don't want to be the last man standing.

An image has stuck for most of my career and it isn't flattering.

Nothing had changed in my routine, except that when I went down the chippy and got me special fried rice, it would be wrapped in a newspaper that had my picture all over it.

A goal is a goal no matter which end it goes in. I'm pleased to get off the mark again.

The treble parade would have been the most perfect moment of my footballing life, but for the two people standing behind me, clearly already plotting their next move.

Anyone who doesn't learn from Ian Rush needs shooting.

To say that I haven't been motivated to play is absolute nonsense.

Forgive yourself for believing that youre anything less than beautiful.

Romantic poses aside, let us recognize that "falling in love"...is an inferior state of mind, a form of transitory imbecility.

To be an American is not...a matter of blood; it is a matter of an idea--and history is the image of that idea.

There's still time to change the road you're on...

I think you can't do any action without in some way paying homage to John Woo. He's the guy who just invented that sort of next level of poetic nasty action.
