You know, my role as Vice Chairman is a lot less tiring than playing matches every three days.

I began by playing for the biggest club in the Lorraine region, went on to the biggest club in France and ended up with the biggest in the world.

A football team represents a way of being, a culture.

For me football is more about making the right pass at the right time.

For me, cooking is an extension of love.

You can shave my head if you need to; it doesn't bother me.

In the theatre, you are in love with what is on the stage, with the moment. You just don't get that with movies or videos, or TV, where you know that what you are seeing is repeatable.

A man's weaknesses may intrude on his faith but they do not diminish it.
