“I left United, but my Heart didn’t.”

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.

My private life is perfect. If your private life and your life outside football is good, then it is good on the field for you.

When I was a kid, I thought my dad was a little bit harsh with me at times. Sometimes I needed an arm around me instead of my dad telling me what I did wrong, but it obviously worked.

Like any parent, I just want the best for my kids, whatever they decide to do. They will choose what path they want to follow, and we will always be there to encourage them.

The buzz is still with me. I get goose bumps.

I respect all religions, but I’m not a deeply religious person. But I try and live life in the right way, respecting other people. I wasn’t brought up in a religious way, but I believe there’s something out there that looks after you.

Kids can have great passion and great ability but if you have the facilities for your particular sport that can give you the inspiration to become a sportsman.

My life here is perfect and I’m happy at Real Madrid so, of course, I want to stay as long as I can.

In an age so connected why do I feel so far apart?

There’s a story behind everything but behind all your stories is always your mother’s story because hers is where yours begins.

I just want to connect with you bros. That’s all I care about, because you bros’ support really means everything to me.

Women most certainly carry a more sympathetic heart in the traditional, classic sense the mother archetype. They have been given the role to carry the heart energy of the human community, whereas men carry the survival energy.

Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get — only what you are expecting to give — which is everything. What you will receive in return varies. But it really has no connection with what you give. You give because you love and cannot help giving.

In times of speed dating, focus on real connections and wild soulful sex.

When I look at someone’s face, I look beyond that face and into the cellular memory in my heart that says, ‘Finally you and I have met again. And now we must find out why’.

The hallmark of secure attachment is being able to remain connected to yourself while also being connected to others.
