Footballers are slaves. I know this from the personal experience of being a footballer.

FIFA stands for discipline, respect, fair-play, not just on the field of play, but in our society as well.

What I am most proud of is the legacy of hope that FIFA and football leaves around the world. It makes all of the efforts and energy I pour into this job worth it.

Fifa cannot sit by and see greed rule the football world. Nor shall we.

Why is it good for football to take the excitement away from fans by overcharging them for tickets to see their team?

We shall wonder if one day our game is played on another planet? Why not? Then we will have not only a World Cup we will have inter-planetary competitions.

We cannot allow the reputation of football and FIFA to be dragged through the mud any longer.

Racism and discrimination of any kind have no place in football.

Football is hope. To be a better human being but also hope one day, one day, to leave your country to be somewhere, let's say admired, as a football star.

It's up to the national associations and their leagues to limit the entry of foreign players.

It is very important that football can see beyond religion but FIFA does not just ignore its impact.

We each survive in our own way.

I'm an individual. I do not want to get into a pissing match with an organization that is a de-facto gigadollar-turnover multinational!

It takes a great client to create great architecture.

The happier a man, the more apt he is to tremble. In hearts exclusively tender, anxiety and jealousy are in exact proportion to happiness.

We are going to impose our agenda on the coverage by dealing with issues and subjects that we choose to deal with.

anything that becomes a cult, or a mass movement, loses its moral and spiritual value. The crusade has to be personal, individual. As soon as it becomes collective it loses its purpose.

Fulham haven't had a shot on target, which is probably why they aren't in the goals.

I've always felt that blues, rock 'n' roll and country are just about a beat apart.

Gloom is but a shadow of a cloud passing by

I believe that as an entertainer, you're only as good as your audience and the people who support you.
