“Whatever I do, I want to be the best.”

“I've got friends in the different teams I've played for, but family is the most important thing to me. That will always be the case.”

“I always wanted kids I could take to work, and for them to experience the things I experience. So, having three boys as a footballer was a dream.”

“I love little kids looking up to me, young players looking up to me, respecting me.”

“Always have something to look forward to.”

“I've got my wife. I've got my four kids. I've got parents, grandparents still, and three really good friends. It's all you need. I'd rather have three really good friends than 20 good friends.”

“Kids can have great passion and great ability but if you have the facilities for your particular sport that can give you the inspiration to become a sportsman.”

“We stay as a team. I might be England captain, but that doesn't mean I get treated differently.”

“My grandparents - my mom's parents - they're Jewish. But nobody ever pushed religion onto us. It wasn't something I ever grew up with.”

“When I was a kid, I thought my dad was a little bit harsh with me at times. Sometimes I needed an arm around me instead of my dad telling me what I did wrong, but it obviously worked.”

“People react to criticism in different ways, and my way is definitely to come out fighting.”

“I'm used to being around kids. Even when I was growing up in London, I had an older sister, I had a younger sister that I used to look after from time to time.”

“יש גברים שמצמצמים יתר על המידה את הגבות וזה פשוט מושלם מדי. גברים אמורים להיות עם סוג של גבות עבות. יותר מדי אפטרשייב פוגע גם כן.”

“הצהוב שקיבלתי היה מכוון. ידעתי שאהיה בחוץ למספר שבועות אז חשבתי לגמור כבר עם הצהובים. אני יודע שאנשים חושבים שאני טיפש, אבל אני לא. הרגשתי את הפציעה ולכן ביצעתי את התאקל על בן ת'אצ'ר.”

“אני שומר את כל הנעליים שבהן שיחקתי, חוץ מכמה שאני נותן לחברים זידאן, רונאלדו וראול, וגם למטרות צדקה. בבית שלי צריכים להיות אלפי זוגות.”

“אני אוהד של מנצ'סטר יונייטד, שתמיד רצה לשחק במועדון, אבל הם יודעים שדברים יכולים להשתנות.”

“אני אוהב את החום וכל מי שיעצור אותי, אדבר איתו, אחתום ואצטלם למזכרת.”

“אני אוהב כדורגל וכל מה שמעבר הוא מבחינתי אקסטרה, לכן התגובות מסביב לא מטרידות אותי.”

“Rosewood has always been one of my favourite scents, as has the pink grapefruit and pepper we've also put in Homme.”

“My parents have been there for me, ever since I was about 7.”
