“That’s the way I’ve been educated: I always think about what I missed and the things that you did, you did them, so you don’t have to think about them any more.”

Sometimes being young and confident is better than being old with experience.When I was young I wasn’t scared about anything.

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 hope you have enjoyed watching as much as I have enjoyed taking part.

People are talking about me more than they talk about Eastenders.

The moment I’ve got a ball at my feet, I’m happy.

It is important for me to feel at home.

When you look at other sports, like golf, the players earn a lot more money without running around.

I’m still young and everyday I want to learn more. I feel I am beginning to find myself.

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.

I did then what I knew how to do. Now that I know better, I do better.

Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world

It is my business to know what other people do not know.

The object of education is not to fill a man’s mind with facts; it is to teach him how to use his mind in thinking.

To the uneducated, an A is just three sticks.

To educate a man in mind and not in morals is to educate a menace to society.

There is no school equal to a decent home and no teacher equal to a virtuous parent.

All our knowledge has its origin in our perceptions.
