Tom cruise, he's a lot more famous than me.

I have got this obsessive compulsive disorder where I have to have everything in a straight line, or everything has to be in pairs.

Nothing amazes me anymore.

My private life is perfect. If your private life and your life outside football is good, then it is good on the field for you.

Being at a club that supported me meant a lot.

Alex Ferguson is the best manager I've ever had at this level. Well, he's the only manager I've actually had at this level. But he's the best manager I've ever had.

Everyone's been so quick to say that I'm really thick or I haven't got a brain. People will think whatever they want to think.

I've felt a little tired, but I'm only 24. I love playing football. That's my job and that's what I love doing.

There's room for boys' and girls' football in the world-that's what I believe.

I still look at myself and want to improve.

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

The buzz is still with me. I get goose bumps.

With United, we'd all grown up together, we all wanted to win the biggest trophy in football. We did it togther.

I like nice clothes, whether they're dodgy or not.

I wasn't as fit as I would of liked to have been, going to the World Cup, but I'm not sure what difference that made.

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

We've been asked to do 'Playboy' together, me and Victoria, as a pair. I don't think I'll ever go naked, but I'll never say never.

Tom cruise, he's a lot more famous than me.

I don't think I'm really in a situation to complain, because I consider myself to be privileged to be doing what I do.

When you have kids you do grow up. I have just started realising it now-it changes the world, having children.

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

I am happier now than I have ever been.

Every situation has changed me as a person.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

I love scoring goals for England and playing for England. That's one of the reasons I didn't retire - I love playing for my country.

Always have something to look forward to.

As a footballer, you always want to test yourself against the best.

At the end of the day, I'm a footballer who has played at some of the biggest football clubs in the world and played with some of the best players in the world.

At the end of the day, I'm very lucky to have what I have and do what I do, but I don't see myself as any different from anyone else who works hard and is a dad and a husband.

Football's the biggest game in the world. America's the greatest sporting nation there is. To play some part in putting those two things together: why wouldn't I be excited about that?

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 always wanted to be a hairdresser.

I can't get through some movies without shedding a tear; I can't lie.

I don't do anything unless I can give it 100%.

I don't have time for hobbies. At the end of the day, I treat my job as a hobby. It's something I love doing.

I don't know whether it's the athlete in me or the passion I have for the game: I always think that I can step back on the field and play.

I don't regret anything, but that doesn't mean that I don't look back and think, 'What was I thinking?'

I don't regret the decision to retire. My body was losing its edge. I was taking longer to recover from injuries. You have to get out at some point.

I feel this pang of regret whenever I watch sport; this sense that I will never play a big match again.

I have always found it an honor that people have wanted to buy my shirt and an honor that fans turn up to watch the team I am playing in. I have always found that a huge honor.

I just want people to see me as a hard-working footballer and someone who is passionate about the game.

I love a nice tailored suit, but I also like to dress down. It all depends on what mood I'm in.

I never do anything half-heartedly. I will continue to work hard and play hard and do everything I can to be successful, whatever I do.

I remember how inspiring it was to meet players like Bobby Charlton or Bryan Robson when I was a kid. I still remember Clive Allen showing up when I received a trophy for my Sunday league team.

I respect all religions, but I'm not a deeply religious person. But I try and live life in the right way, respecting other people. I wasn't brought up in a religious way, but I believe there's something out there that looks after you.

I think the most important goal I scored in Spain was the first one because people were wary about me coming over to Spain as a player - they thought I was just there to sell shirts.

I would never complain about the position I'm in or the attention I get. At the end of the day, I'm very lucky to have what I have and do what I do, but I don't see myself as any different from anyone else who works hard and is a dad and a husband.

I'll never forget where I'm from, never forget my roots. It doesn't matter where I live. I'm English, simple as that.

I'm a strong person, I'm a strong family man, I'm a strong husband and a strong father.
