At times they don't like you to kick them and they feel you're not allowed to kick them.

One accusation you can't throw at me is that I've always done my best.

At times they don't like you to kick them and they feel you're not allowed to kick them.

We go there with confidence, but we know there is a very fine line between success and failure in this game.

Football's not just about scoring goals - it's about winning.

Basically, a manager is a father figure to 20 or 25 blokes. It's about trying to get the best out of them and creating team spirit.

I always practise penalties, but what people don't understand is that you can never recreate that pressure situation that you're under.

I didn't watch cartoons, I was too busy playing football.

I don't know what I believe in. I try not to think about it. I don't want to think about it.

I don't watch a lot of TV, to be honest. With three kids I have my hands full.

I have had interviews and got close to taking a managerial job. I would consider going back into football.

I hope I never have to face that feeling of missing and sending my country or team out of a competition.

I miss walking out of the tunnel, the 90 minutes and the adrenalin rush that I'll never, ever replace.

I still get butterflies when England are playing.

I've got a great life that I really enjoy. But there is something chewing at me inside: that adrenaline rush from football, I miss that.

It doesn't matter that I didn't win a trophy because I did it my way and I lived the dream.

Management interests me at some stage in my life, I have always said that. When that will be I really couldn't tell you.

Regrets? None at all.

Some players are criticised for having no loyalty. Well, I wanted to go back home and play for the club I supported. I don't think that's a crime.

Sometimes going in for a hard tackle generates a louder cheer than a great pass.

Somewhere along the line you've got to do your apprenticeship. But I'd want half a chance of being successful at it.

The fans have what they want. They want entertainment, they want passion and they want commitment.

The managers are getting paid very well by their respective clubs to do a job for their clubs not the country they are working in.

There are not many times when I get nervous, but I do a little bit with penalties.

When I was a young boy I wanted to play for Newcastle United, I wanted to wear the number nine shirt and I wanted to score goals at St James' Park. I've lived my dream and I realise how lucky I've been to have done that.

Whenever I have any spare time I have a game of golf.

You can take 100 penalties in training, but when you go out on that pitch in front of all those people and the television cameras, it's completely different.

Defeat is not worth thinking about.

During my childhood, I was surrounded by actors, and all I remember is they were fun to be around. That kind of sticks.

But seek till ye find, and, whatever ye find for the present, let your last act be to lay and leave yourselves on the righteousness of His Son, expecting life through His name, according to the promise of the Father.

If I've achieved a higher respect for women and for their role in society, then I would be very happy. That would really be my greatest wish.

Warp was important to Thom about two years ago when he was looking for different sounds.

Despite what anti-aging ads say, growing older can be better. I feel better in my skin, 100 percent. You have greater effects of gravity, but the better sense of yourself you have is something I wouldn't trade. Women who lie about their age - 'why?'

People expect you to change when you become a mother, and of course my priorities changed when I had Violet. She's number one in my life and the best thing that ever happened to me, but I still have fun. I am still myself, but that is made out to seem like I am rebelling against motherhood.

It's weird being an author because it's different than writing songs. You put so much more of yourself out there to be judged because it's a memoir. So when the reviews come in, they all feel really personal. Some people are just going to hate you no matter what. Personally, I never believe good reviews.

What I wish I had, is that I wish I was a little more Greek, in that I wish I could lose my North American driven attitude and that I could be a little bit more poetic and laissez faire.

My mother enjoyed old age, and because of her I've begun to enjoy parts of it too. So far I've had it good and am crumbling nicely.

A self-taught man usually has a poor teacher and a worse student.

When teachers doubt your potential, show them how wrong they truly are.

Environmental problems are really social problems anyway. They begin with people as the cause and end with people as the victims.

I don't think age has anything to do with what you write about.

I don't really like meetings, I like recording and performing music. I need to set myself up for when the time does come that I need better distribution or just a bigger team behind me.

I remember my first actor that I really, really fell in love with was Tom Hanks. I suppose when I was growing up and getting more serious about acting, at that point, he was the biggest actor in the world.

One the other hand, the publishing trend is ghastly, isn't it? Two hundred and something distributors are now down to 10 or 12? And what's the recruiting drive?

In order to produce generalist courses, business school professors have been forced to invent subjects called strategy, called organizational behavior and so on.

I always try to take the chance even though my past wasn't the greatest. I take a person and accept them for who they are and whatever past, present or future they hold. Even the scariest of chances could be the greatest.

If any human being is to reach full maturity both the masculine and feminine sides of the personality must be brought up into consciousness.

I love technology, and I don't think it's something that should divide along gender lines.

I liked Roy Jones, Sugar Ray Leonard, Ali... those were the guys I was looking at growing up.
