I am proud of where I come from and I will never forget the people I grew up with.

I once cried because I had no shoes to play soccer, but one day, I met a man who had no feet.

If you are determined and confident, there is nothing in this great existence that can stop you from achieving what you want.

I am first of all from La Castellane and Marseille.

Ronaldinho is a special player, but Thierry Henry is probably technically the most gifted footballer ever to play the beautiful game.

Nobody knows if Zidane is an angel or demon. He smiles like Saint Teresa and grimaces like a serial killer.

Everything I have achieved in football is due to playing football in the streets with my friends

Real Madrid is the most important thing that happened to me, both as a footballer and as a person.

I may have had a lot of luck in my life, but I still need to find a challenge in the game.

You rarely come across the complete footballer, but Scholes is as close to it as you can get. One of my regrets is that the opportunity to play alongside him never presented itself during my career.

Zidane was from another planet. When Zidane stepped onto the pitch, the 10 other guys just got suddenly better. It is that simple.

Love, gratitude, compassion, and kindness are the sources of all enduring, pure happiness.

Unfortunately, there seems to be far more opportunity out there than ability.... We should remember that good fortune often happens when opportunity meets with preparation.

It seems to be a law of nature, inflexible and inexorable, that those who will not risk cannot win.

At the head of any new undertaking where in France you would find the government, or in England some great lord, in the United States you are sure to find an association.

Most fools think they are only ignorant.

I get really upset seeing my friends who are mums crying because they feel like they're not good enough. Clever, confident, kind young women all going, 'I'm ruining my child's life.

Every single one of us already has everything we need to be the happiest person on earth; it's simply up to us to remember that in every moment.

If you know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter and road construction, you may live in Canada

I think that Rahm Emanuel's political career is going to be very difficult to revive after the mismanagement.

Im just a lipgloss, blush and mascara kind of girl. I like playing with a bright lipstick or a heavy eye... But not together!
