No, because retiring is stopping. If I wanted to stop, I would have stopped.

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

Sometimes in football you have to score goals.

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'.

There are many things I want, and the only way I will get them is to keep my head down, listen to the right people and work hard

I always think about what I missed, and I think that was my driving force - never be satisfied with what I've done.

The moment I've got a ball at my feet, I'm happy.

In football you always get judged on your last game. Whoever you are, or how amazing you are, it's the last game that everyone has seen.

I can't stay in the box and wait for the ball. I can't - I would die.

I make my own music and I don't criticize others.

This is my first summer [with] no trouble. I ain't go to jail for speeding. Didn't go to jail for DUI. I didn't break my foot. I didn't break my other foot. I'm one step ahead of the game already.

I don't think that the Soviet Union and China are accidents, aberrations; I think they follow from Marxism-Leninism. I think that Leninism comes out of Marx's basic convictions.

My thinking is very flexible, and I hope that it will remain flexible and creative as long as biology permits me to think and that I will remain a rebel all my life.

I don't think I can write the story of my life, but I can write the story of my hair.
