“It doesn’t matter if it’s rain or sweat, we got work to do!”

The most important thing is to be a midfielder first, not scoring goals. You have to make the game, make an assist for the team, and if you can score, it’s a plus for the team.

The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in the persons determination.

For me, playing simply is dribbling. For me, playing one or two touches is harder. Playing simply is the most difficult thing.

My dad was a very strong man, very stubborn as well.

With determination, you can achieve anything. Put your mind to being the best you can be and everything is possible.

I have to keep working hard and playing well because I don’t like to be second or third: they’re the worst places to be. You would be proud, of course, because it means you’re on the way, but you want to finish first.

We are the ones who can make a change.

My family always helped me. I had people around me who always pushed me to be the best: my dad, my mum. My dad used to play and coach as well. But I wasn’t born with shiny things.

I came back to Carrington, and it was like I just came back home.

I like to try new looks and new haircuts. It’s part of who I am.

I grew up in a flat with my brothers and my cousins. My brothers were in the same bed.

Let’s keep our world safe and free from violence.

If you want to speak about scoring goals, you should judge every midfielder the same way.

Great times and good experiences!

That’s why we love football: it’s not about the money or about the hairstyle or the dancing. We want to see beautiful goals, great tackles, fair play, and all this stuff.

I’m sure Mourinho will make me a better player and a better person.

As states subsist in part by keeping their weaknesses from being known, so is it the quiet of families to have their chancery and their parliament within doors, and to compose and determine all emergent differences there.

Nothing is impossible to a determined woman.

There’s almost nothing you can’t accomplish if you set your mind to it.

I made a resolve then that I was going to amount to something if I could. And no hours, nor amount of labor, nor amount of money would deter me from giving the best that there was in me. And I have done that ever since, and I win by it. I know.

Sometimes a director is making three films. Perhaps he is shooting a film in Madras and a film in Bombay and he can’t leave Madras as some shooting has to be done, so he directs by telephone. The shooting takes place. On schedule.

There are two things which a man should scrupulously avoid: giving advice that he would not follow, and asking advice when he is determined to pursue his own opinion.

Your life today is a result of your thinking yesterday. Your life tomorrow will be determined by what you think today.

You need to realise that you must have something to aim for, something to drive you.
