Early on in my career, I had a lot of bad press about my temperament, but I was only a young lad then.

I helped Messi and I know he will do the same with Neymar.

My heroes were always soccer players.

It is not just about the money, it is about what you achieve on the pitch.

Our confidence comes from our preparation.

No matter who you are it's the simple things in life that lead you to believe that you can achieve anything.

I learned all about life with a ball at my feet

I am ugly but what I do have is the charm.

Becoming a dad means you have to be a role model for your son and be someone he can look up to.

I don't think I look up to any players. Obviously, you respect everyone.

I am mentally strong.

To me, Paul Scholes was in a class of his own.

I'm only a human being.

If we're on long-haul flights I've been known to sleep on the floor so I hear the engine.

Nice to see your own fans booing you.

If I'm staying in a hotel or I'm sleeping on my own I have the hairdryer on.

I love playing football but I am like everyone else, I hate losing and love winning.

I might have faults but I'm not a big head.

I am not the first player to have sworn on TV and I won't be the last.
