I hate to admit this but I don't even know how to make a cup of tea or coffee. I can boil a kettle for a pot noodle and I've been known to warm up some food in the microwave.

I feel that every time I get the ball at the moment I am going to score.

There is no doubt that I would have won more honours had I signed for Manchester United as a youngster.

Nobody on this planet had a range of passing like Paul Scholes. Training every day was a pleasure just watching him. Unbelievable career.

I don't believe in superstitions. I just do certain things because I'm scared in case something will happen if I don't do them

If you only ever give 90% in training then you will only ever give 90% when it matters.

To stay in the game, you have to stay in the game.

To be the best you have to forget partying and concentrate all your energies on the football.

You need people who score goals. That's how you win games

Guys like Larry Bird -- he played so hard, he wants everybody else to play hard. That's not unreasonable. Any coach would want that and demand that.

Any nation has the right and will indeed defend herself.

Passion, friendship, love, loyalty, trust . . . if you found the right person . . . you really could have it all.

Mythology, science and space exploration are subjects that have fascinated me since my early childhood. And they were always connected somehow with the music I write.

I will make a Star-chamber matter of it.
