The way I see it, Messi is the best player in history. He is the one who changes the course of games; he's the best. There is no comparison in my view; he's the world number one and by a margin.

I’d love to be faster. Physically I’m limited, but I’ve survived by using my head.

Favourite stadium? I have good memories of my CL debut at Old Trafford, spectacular atmosphere. The Theatre of Dreams, as they say.

Amazing, powerful, inspirational - those adjectives might make me sound like a fawning fan, but REWORK is that useful. Be prepared for a new feeling of clarity and motivation.

The difference between a hero and an also-ran is the guy who hangs on for one last gasp.

The nation is faced with one of the most corporate-orientated anti-consumer Congresses in our history.

Cheap! But not as cheap as your girlfriend.

But evil is a cunning force. It can find the weakness in any man, even the bravest. [...] It only takes a single weak moment to let evil in.
