To me Paul is a role model. He is the best midfielder I've seen in the last 15 or 20 years.

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.

In the last 15 to 20 years the best central midfielder that I have seen - the most complete - is SCHOLES

There are two types of football - there's physical football and football talent.

Some teams can't or don't pass the ball. What are you playing for? What's the point? That's not football. Combine, pass, play. That's football - for me, at least.

In futsal, you see whether a player is really talented. You notice the small details in quality, class and tactical understanding.

Maybe one small regret is that I never got to play with Paul Scholes - but I was never going to leave Barcelona and he was never going to leave Manchester United.

In football, the result is an impostor. You can do things really, really well but not win. There's something greater than the result, more lasting - a legacy.

I liked the Paul Ince and Roy Keane partnership Manchester United had. They would have been my team had I moved to England.

Celtic, like Barcelona, are more than a football club. Our clubs are a symbol of a culture and community that has not always been made welcome in their respective countries.

Mother said we had reached the Age of Reason and had to be good now. We must have because we wanted Willy Starr instead.

I love technology. We can be our own DJs wherever we go.

The experiment of poetry, as far as I am concerned, happens when the poem carries you beyond where you could have reasonably expected to go.

The most important thing in fighting was shooting, next the various tactics in coming into a fight and last of all flying ability itself.

Gregg Braden is a rare blend of a scientist, visionary, and scholar, with the ability to speak to our minds, while touching the wisdom of our hearts.

How can we live without our lives? How will we know it's us without our past?

When I come before these men I do not have to explain that we are all sinners. They have committed every sin there is. All I have to tell them is that I, too, am a sinner.

Sleep hath its own world, and the wide realm of wild reality.

I was thinking what an interesting concept it is to eliminate the writer from the artistic process. If we can just get rid of these actors and directors, maybe we got something here.

Stay away from a companionship that does not benefit you with knowledge.
