Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I assure you, it's much more serious than that.

Denis Law could dance on eggshells.

In my time at Anfield we always said we had the best two teams on Merseyside - Liverpool and Liverpool reserves.

If you are first you are first. If you are second, you are nothing.

What a great day for football, all we need is some green grass and a ball.

At a football club, there's a holy trinity - the players, the manager and the supporters. Directors don't come into it. They are only there to sign the checks.

The difference between Everton and the Queen Mary is that Everton carry more passengers!

The trouble with referees is that they know the rules, but they do not know the game.

The socialism I believe in is everybody working for the same goal and everybody having a share in the rewards. That’s how I see football, that’s how I see life.

If Everton were playing down the bottom of my garden, I'd draw the curtains.

A football team is like a piano. You need eight men to carry it and three who can play the damn thing.

For me, I think it was a little easier to write thinking that nobody was listening.

From the moment of birth, folks suddenly wanted what others said they could not have. Kids craved the most sugary sweets how alcoholics thirsted for one more drink with the most impactful punch.

I think there's a gigantic generation gap in terms of how people understand the Internet and how much they think technology is an important factor in social change.

Standing, standing, standing - why do I have to stand all the time? That is the main characteristic of social Washington.

There was a time when television was sort of frowned upon among people who wanted to be serious artists. John Travolta kind of exploded that. He was one of the actors who made that go away.

I'm not a materialist, I don't care for things. I don't like cars, I hate things that can be exploited. I live a simple life. The only luxuries I have in my life are travel and food.

The worst of Nature brings out the best in our fellow human beings.

I've done sport for a long time.

If you have one strong idea, you can't help repeating it and embroidering it. Sometimes I think that authors should write one novel and then be put in a gas chamber.

I'm constantly in fear of having a stroke.
