“There are many things I want, and the only way I will get them is to keep my head down, listen to the right people and work hard.”

You kind of never leave Arsenal. How many comebacks do you make? At one point it will turn out to be a bad move. We all love the first Rocky but I’m not too sure about the last one.

I eat football, I sleep football. I am not mad I am just passionate.

You can never have enough trophies. If there were ten to be won a year I’d want to win them all! That’s not being greedy, it’s just a natural thing.

I can’t understand why Scholes has never won the player of the year award. He should have won it long ago. Maybe it’s because he doesn’t seek the limelight like some of the other ‘stars’.

But, at the moment, when I step on the pitch, when I have the ball I know it’s mine. It’s just a feeling.

When I was 20 or 21, I didn’t… I won’t say care about anything, but you’re like in your own world – you made something that you always wanted to do, and then you kind of think only about your family and yourself.

I am not a cheat and never have been.

What I believe is this: Catalunya is not Spain, it is something else and you have to feel it.

There’s nothing I’m scared of in football.

There’s just something about Highbury that is difficult to describe. When you first arrive, you hardly see the stadium and wonder where it is but then you find it between two blocks of flats.

Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.

No man needs sympathy because he has to work, because he has a burden to carry. Far and away the best prize that life offers is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.

That some achieve great success, is proof to all that others can achieve it as well.

Those who dare to fail miserably can achieve greatly.

My mother is my root, my foundation. She planted the seed that I base my life on, and that is the belief that the ability to achieve starts in your mind.

The important achievement of Apollo was demonstrating that humanity is not forever chained to this planet, and our visions go rather further than that, and our opportunities are unlimited.

When your desires are strong enough you will appear to possess superhuman powers to achieve.

The true measure of a successful leader is their ability to discover the hidden talent in those they lead and challenge them to achieve greatness.
