“I can’t stay in the box and wait for the ball. I can’t – I would die.”

I would love this place to be my garden. (on Arsenal’s old stadium)

I can’t think of a striker in the world who has scored so many important goals, never mind a midfielder.

I have the possibility to watch Messi in training each morning, and because of what he demonstrates he is the best player in the world

At the end of the day, you either want or you don’t want to know about it. It’s a mercy thing – you have to give back. However you do it, you have to give something back. You have to.

In football you always get judged on your last game. Whoever you are, or how amazing you are, it’s the last game that everyone has seen.

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.

Because that’s just the way it is, and don’t sleep on what you did before, you know, because it can not hurt you, but you can find yourself sleeping on something that happened in the past, but you dare to progress and there is always room for progression.

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.

So long and take it easy, because if you start taking things seriously, it is the end of you.

Obviously, I dont live and die by it, everything my horoscope says. But I feel like theres definitely something to it.

Love, whether newly born, or aroused from a deathlike slumber, must always create sunshine, filling the heart so full of radiance, this it overflows upon the outward world.

Everything is good as long as it is unpossessed. Satiety and possession are Death’s horses they run in span.

Is it wrong for me to love my own? Is it wicked for me because my skin is red? Because I am Sioux? Because I was born where my father lived? Because I would die for my people and my country?

In the memory of the dead all chronological differences are effaced.

One of the things you realize about gettin older is that not everybody is goin to get older with you.

All my life’s about is cracking up people and them cracking me up and trying not to think about dying. That doesn’t cost very much money.
