“People always see the goals, and for me, strikers are not only about scoring goals.”

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.

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.

It doesn’t matter where you come from, what you have, what you don’t have.

Spirituality is not some external goal that one must seek, but a part of the divine core of each of us, which we must reveal.

In your thinking be a goal setter, but in your actions be a goal getter.

Goals are harmful unless they guide you to make specific behaviors easier to do. Don’t focus your motivation on doing Behavior X. Instead, focus on making Behavior X easier to do.

Our whole goal in life is to give you something you didn’t know you wanted and then once you get it, you can’t imagine your life without it… and you can count on apple doing that.

It is when things go hardest, when life becomes most trying, that there is greatest need for having a fixed goal.

Let your joy be in your journey, not in some distant goal.

The essence of the Way is detachment. And the goal of those who practice is freedom from appearances.
