The longer my career has gone, the more I seem to score... It's experience and age and knowing where the ball's going to be.

I feel that every time I get the ball at the moment I am going to score.

There is no doubt that I would have won more honours had I signed for Manchester United as a youngster.

I don't want to be modelling G-strings. It's not that good for my image – I'm a footballer not a tart

Nobody on this planet had a range of passing like Paul Scholes. Training every day was a pleasure just watching him. Unbelievable career.

I don't believe in superstitions. I just do certain things because I'm scared in case something will happen if I don't do them

If you only ever give 90% in training then you will only ever give 90% when it matters.

I hate to admit this but I don't even know how to make a cup of tea or coffee. I can boil a kettle for a pot noodle and I've been known to warm up some food in the microwave.

To stay in the game, you have to stay in the game.

To be the best you have to forget partying and concentrate all your energies on the football.

You need people who score goals. That's how you win games

A plan is not a routine that a man does every day

I have never felt the need to worship someone or something, but I recognize the beauty of creation, the miraculosity of existence, and honor the genius behind the scene, who came up with all of this.

Ah, my darling. But there is no such thing [as a nice safe history].

Only a foolish woman would allow her man to earn his living as a moving target.

I think it's possible to allow an artist to go beyond his borders and play.

We all become what we pretend to be.

The purpose of our lives is to add value to the people of this generation and those that follow.

Bodily exercises are to be done discreetly; not to be taken evenly and alike by all men.

It came to me that reform should begin at home, and since that day I have not had time to remake the world.

For the most part, I'm extremely thankful for the life I have and what I get to do in the future.
