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

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.

I think New York is a good place to write in general because it's a grid. It's organized. You know where you are on the map. That centers you, and your imagination is perhaps freer to roam.

You have to step up when your number is called.

People talk about balance. Balance is an awful measure of things because it implies a scale that inevitably tips. I like to look through the filter of, 'Is the life I'm leading consistent with my priorities?' For me, my family is the ultimate litmus test.

I'm beginning to perceive motherhood as a long, slow letting go, of which birth is just the first step.

I have to be an optimist and say that it might get better.

I can't always be making 'British films.' Why should we be making films about corsets and horses and girls learning to drive when Americans send over an event movie and make five or 10 million?

My goal is just to make movies, whether they're big or small, that I'd like to see 10 years from now.

So many organizations have a mentoring arm, but they don't really do it. Their idea of mentoring a kid is giving them general advice. But what they need to do is read with children.

There's something you do when you're completely confident that just can't be replicated when you know you're doing something wrong.

Art is something special because it can come up with a way of approaching the truth that is a little to the side.

I can't fly a flag for monogamy or whatever the opposite is; it depends on the person and on the situation.

There is a physical relationship with a woman that you don't have with anybody else, but that's not about love. Love is a spiritual thing.

We're aiming to be the leading investment platform for the clean-energy economy.

There's a roots nature to Appalachia - the origins of folk and bluegrass. I know guys there who are some of the best players I've ever heard but are playing on their porch tonight because they've never chased success. There's simplicity to how they live and what they care about.

It's just so much more fun to play bad than good. Plus it's just good to get that out of your system so it doesn't show up in your personal life.

Punk is not dead. Punk will only die when corporations can exploit and mass produce it.

I'm very bad at having heroes. I don't rate anyone particularly highly because I'm so snide and competitive and not very nice.

Out of clutter, find simplicity. From discord, find harmony. In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.

History is more interesting than most people think.

Everybody has a world, and that world is completely hidden until we begin to inquire. As soon as we do, that entire world opens to us and yields itself. And you see how full and complex it is.

As I travel across the country speaking about MS, perhaps I can offer others comfort and hope.

I wouldn't throw all spitballs. I'd go maybe two or three innings without throwing a spitter, but I always had them looking for it.
