The Italians are very strong defensively. They showed in Euro 2000 how good defensively they are.

Potentially he could be. He scored the goal four years ago in France against Argentina that was extraordinary.

In '82 Brazil showed that you can't win the World Cup without a solid defense.

I don't expect to see them in the top six but I think of all the teams that have come up in previous seasons, I think Manchester City are the biggest club.

Even though they won't finish in the top four this season, they will still be of the contenders next season.

He's sharp, he can score and he doesn't worry about missing.

I think the reality is that, that money was probably badly spent.

When George Graham was there they complained, harking back to better days, but I think that's a fantasy.

The pressures are intense, because the rewards for success and the penalty for failure are more and more.

Everybody likes Brazil and we want the Brazilians to come out.

I think if Tottenham are going to be top four side, the fans and the club will need to get away from the philosophy of 'pretty football', that's got to go.

I think when people talk about ambition and talking to him, it might have seemed that he wasn't ambitious.

What I always do is just look at the players, look at the best 11 they can put on the pitch.

These guys live and breathe football; they get something out of going to the training ground every day.

The World Cup needs a brilliant Brazilian team.

Manchester City have been in the doldrums for a while, they came up and went straight back down again.

I played against the Brazilians in '82, who were definitely the best team never to have won the World Cup.

The boy can do anything, but to be the star of the World Cup you have got to get to the final and win it!

The Italians are very strong defensively. They showed in Euro 2000 how good defensively they are.

I don't think anyone enjoyed it. Apart from the people who watched it.

It's incredible considering the public perception that he was tight fisted and he was more than prudent, and lacked ambition to take Tottenham to where the fans wanted them to be.

We got stuffed 4-1, but it was just great to play against, it was like an education. You think you are half good and then you go and play against a side like that!

I had no plans once I finished my football career, which was a problem, so I had to go looking for work. Television was the one area that it was easier to get a job than anywhere else.

I hear people saying 'the way the game should be played'. Rubbish. That's the worst saying in football. You win the game, then worry about the way it should be played.

I only started concentrating on football as a career when I left school at 18. I played golf for the Scottish and British boys' teams.

I wouldn't say they're neglected, but everybody is going to grow old and we should be looking after the older generation more than we do at the moment.

People say I'm bad at a lot of things. One I agree with is that I'm a bad driver.

Surveying the way viruses have been discovered in the past, I came to the conclusion that I could use my technology that I developed as a graduate student - DNA microarray technology - to create a chip that would simultaneously screen for all viruses ever discovered, and furthermore have the built-in capability of discovering new viruses.

Human beings, viewed as behaving systems, are quite simple. The apparent complexity of our behavior over time is largely a reflection of the complexity of the environment in which we find ourselves.

Being packed all the time, even when not in use, must feel something like going to bed on an empty stomach.

Good girls go to heaven, bad girls go everywhere.

Not all political prisoners are innocents.

Fabio kept asking me out, but I knew we'd never get his ego through the door.

We are all broken by something. We have all hurt someone and have been hurt. We all share the condition of brokenness even if our brokenness is not equivalent.

I saw my father preach in Madison Square Garden, and I was a little embarrassed, I think, the first time I heard him preach. That's my father up there, and I kind of slid down in my chair.

I like being able to tape things and then having them home waiting for you, but just dealing with the Time Warner Cable people will drive you insane.

The type of music that I love to sing would have to be more bluesy and jazzy and more soul-like 'cause I love to belt when it comes to singing, so I guess bigger songs are what I lean more towards.

Loud is a way of life.

I feel that I am pregnant by music, and it is the father and mother of my child.

I'm definitely a romantic, no doubt about it.

You don't have that much choice in your life, which is one of the big lessons I've learned. I was going to be a designer whether I wanted to be a designer or not.

As a working mum, it's really hard to find time in the day to just relax and take a break. I am constantly on the go.

As anyone who has tinnitus knows, it's not something that you can ignore, and you have to deal with it on a daily basis.

The challenges I face in the studio pale in comparison to when I'm out in nature.

People really saw themselves in a big way in Elian Gonzalez's story.

You cannot disgrace a disgraceful man; you cannot make a shameless man feel ashamed; you cannot make a cockroach a cockroach, because it is already a cockroach!

Don't tell fish stories where the people know you; but particularly, don't tell them where they know the fish.

I just consider myself a piece of the puzzle and I'm lucky enough to be asked or invited to the party, if you will. I hope I can bring some laughs and grimaces to the fans.

No, I am a crier and if people ever saw me privately they would be shocked at what a bowl of mush I am underneath it all.
