I don't want to be a passenger sitting on the bench not doing much, even in my older years.

Before my mother died, she told me not to leave Chelsea.

Barcelona are my favourite team in Spain, let's put it that way...

I think as far as kids go, you just have to work hard. Work on your skills, keep focused.

Goals never come easy. No one gives you goals.

I can't stress the importance of working hard enough, work on all aspects of your game. If you does that and you have the ability, you'll come through.

I think about all my successes and failures and sometimes the failures stick in your head as much as the wins. But you do move on.

I am a man who likes to play consistently; I always play better when I'm on a run of games.

If I lose the ball, I lose it trying to do the right thing. That's the way it is.

When you take a lot of stick you want to ram it down people's throats.

I have never seen a player as driven and determined as me, quietly determined; that's why I always want to do the best.

Memories shrink. Like a soap bar used over and over, they become deformed, weaker scented, too slight and slippery to hold.

Worrying can only come as an enemy of the solution to your problem.

I don't know if he throws a spitball but he sure spits on the ball.

A poet must sing for his own people.

I do not so easily think in words.... after being hard at work having arrived at results that are perfectly clear... I have to translate my thoughts in a language that does not run evenly with them.

The full ashtanga system practiced with devotion leads to freedom within one's heart.

Technology plows through history at an accelerating rate, shifting the burden of production off labor into the nonhuman factor because man uses his highest ingenuity to avoid servile labor.

The devil knows more from experience than from being the devil

I miss my family, and I like being a tourist when I go back.
