Im looking forward to the World Cup because I believe Wayne Rooney could be one of the major finds in world football.

Some people tell me that we professional players are soccer slaves. Well, if this is slavery, give me a life sentence.

In the sweep of its appeal, its ability to touch every corner of humanity, football is the only game that needed to be invented.

Duncan Edwards is the one person who, even today, I really felt inferior to. I've never know anybody so gifted and strong and powerful with the presence that he had.

Beckham is unusual. He was desperate to be a footballer. His mind was made up when he was nine or ten. Many kids think that it's beyond them. But you can't succeed without practising at any sport.

Paul Scholes is my favourite player. He epitomises the spirit of Manchester United and everything that is good about football.

It was a fair decision, the penalty, even though it was debatable whether it was inside or outside the box

I love watching little Paul Scholes, he's so in control of what he's doing and is always so accurate and pinpoint with his passing - it's just beautiful to watch.

Tottenham have impressed me. They haven't thrown in the towel even though they have been under the gun.

Let silence take you to the core of life.

I don't worry about getting tired. I try not to let it guide me as far as how much I'm going to play. I play with my heart.

So you’re reluctant, I said to myself. Many, many people are reluctant. It’s like having feet. It’s nothing to brag about.

Most days I am in public. If I go to the store, with social media, I'm in public. It might as well be a press conference.

It's frustrating when you come over here [Hollywood], especially from a position that I was in, in Sweden, where most people know who you are, but then you come here.

The liberty of the individual must be thus far limited; he must not make himself a nuisance to other people.

The external is in no way the essence of religion, but the external often proclaims the internal.

The biggest thing I remember is that there was just no transition. You hit the ground diapering.

The arguments for purity of life fail of their due influence, not because they have been considered and confuted, but because they have been passed over without consideration.
