“It’s difficult to talk about Pele because I didn’t see him.”

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.

But one thing you need to do in the game, is to adapt and adjust your game to what you have been asked to do and also to what your body is telling you to do.

What makes the difference between a great player and just a normal player is dedication, work, commitment.

There is something better, if possible, that a man can give than his life. That is his living spirit to a service that is not easy, to resist counsels that are hard to resist, to stand against purposes that are difficult to stand against.

Philosophy is not in a state of external reflection on other domains, but in a state of active and internal alliance with them, and it is neither more abstract nor more difficult.

It is easier to be a lover than a husband for the simple reason that it is more difficult to be witty every day than to say pretty things from time to time.

All of us might wish at times that we lived in a more tranquil world, but we don’t. And if our times are difficult and perplexing, so are they challenging and filled with opportunity.

I know I’m difficult to love but I’m going to need you to love me anyway.

I travel, work, suffer my weak health, meet with a thousand difficulties, but all these are nothing, for this world is so small. To me, space is an imperceptible object, as I am accustomed to dwell in eternity.

It’s really difficult trying to find the line where you don’t piss anybody off.

Now, all the movies are for teenagers. It’s very difficult for an actress to find really deep, beautiful characters to play.
