“You will go through tough times, it’s about getting through them.”

I love little kids looking up to me, young players looking up to me, respecting me.

Everyone’s been so quick to say that I’m really thick or I haven’t got a brain. People will think whatever they want to think.

My secret is practice.

It’s is always nice to be respected as a footballer. I am going to go out and enjoy the game and if I can set one or two goals up then so be it – I would love to.

Some people think that I haven’t got the brains to be that clever.

Every situation has changed me as a person.

I wasn’t as fit as I would of liked to have been, going to the World Cup, but I’m not sure what difference that made.

It’s my responsibility to walk around the hotel with a big smile on my face and not worry about what’s happened in the last game.

I’m happy in Madrid, my kids are happy and my wife is happy, so everything’s good. If anyone knows about contracts they take a while to sort out.

I like nice clothes, whether they’re dodgy or not.

I love football and I love winning, and when things aren’t going right I get annoyed.

I’m a big fan of old boots.

I still believe I have a part to play for England.

It is so great that fashion is not a question of price, and it can be more accessible to everyone interested in fashion.

I’ve got friends in the different teams I’ve played for, but family is the most important thing to me. That will always be the case.

I always wanted to be a hairdresser.

There are both things in international law: the principle of territorial integrity and right to self-determination.

Quit wasting time trying to convince someone to understand you when they’re determined to misunderstand you.

My music definitely determines the direction we’re gonna move in. It’s like music, fashion, hair, makeup.

What you habitually think largely determines what you will ultimately become.

A man’s legacy is determined by how the story ends.

Every day I wake up determined to deliver a better life for the people all across America that have been ignored, neglected and abandoned.

I always bring the determination to win the game.

With strength and determination you can do anything you want in life, as long as you believe in yourself, because if you don’t, no one else will.
