The problem is that they are all stars at Madrid. You need someone to carry the water to the well.

God makes me play well. That is why I always make the sign of a cross when I walk out on to the pitch. I feel I would be betraying him if I didn't.

At the moment there are some England players who are the stars of their club teams, but not for their country. It's difficult to explain.

Beckham is a nice man and I'm sure he will reach 100 appearances for England. But he is just a good player, nothing more.

Everybody in Argentina can remember 'the hand of God' in the England match in the 1986 World Cup. Now, in my country, the 'hand of God' has brought us an Argentinian pope.

I am Maradona, who makes goals, who makes mistakes. I can take it all, I have shoulders big enough to fight with everybody.

I am black or white, I'll never be grey in my life.

I gave all I had. Now I want to enjoy my family.

I have 23 top players and they are all ready to put on the jersey and work on the pitch and that makes you happy and then you have peace of mind.

I like English football, always have. It's just that people go on about the World Cup in 1986 and then I'm seen as the real bad boy.

I'd give my life to be the national team coach.

I'm alive and I want to keep living.

If I could apologise and go back and change history I would do. But the goal is still a goal, Argentina became world champions and I was the best player in the world.

If you don't want to play clean football then go up into the stands.

In the end, it is about whether God wants us to be in the final, but I know that is what God wants. This time we will not need the Hand of God, because it is the will of God.

Many people agree with me that many things are not clear in football these days and it is not something people who watch football deserve. The situation will be the same while football is run by people who do not understand football.

My mother thinks I am the best. And I was raised to always believe what my mother tells me.

Of course in the first matches you are more careful, perhaps more careful than you should be.

There are hundreds of Beckhams playing football all over the world.

There would be no debate about who was the best footballer the world had ever seen - me or Pele. Everyone would say me.

Things are neither clear nor clean in the world of football right now and many people recognise this reality.

To see the ball, to run after it, makes me the happiest man in the world.

When I wear the national team shirt, its sole contact with my skin makes it stand on an end.

When you win, you don't get carried away. But if you go step by step, with confidence, you can go far.

While the coach is entitled to celebrate the team's victories, there is a manner and a way of doing so without aggravating the opponent.

You can say a lot of things about me, but you can never say I don't take risks.

I was I am and I always will be a drug addict. A person who gets involved in drugs has to fight it everyday.

I did work out every day. I needed it to have the endurance to do what needed to be done and not get hurt. I have such a new respect for action stars now.

I've always thought John Travolta is one of the greatest movie stars Hollywood has ever produced.

You got to try and reach for the stars or try and achieve the unreachable.

Man is a microcosm, or a little world, because he is an extract from all the stars and planets of the whole firmament, from the earth and the elements; and so he is their quintessence.

I've been pleased to work with so many wonderful stars through the years. This has been an amazing journey. I hope it continues.

If we long to believe that the stars rise and set for us, that we are the reason there is a Universe, does science do us a disservice in deflating our conceits?

You know, there was a time, just before I started to study physical science, when astronomers thought that systems such as we have here in the solar system required a rare triple collision of stars.

I thought that I was going to have to pay them to do what I wanted to do, that was how much fun I was having. You're 20 years old and you're hanging out with rock stars and going to fabulous parties, and then you talk about it!

I might have been born in a hovel but I am determined to travel with the wind and the stars.

Oh, don't let's ask for the moon. We've already got the stars.

An ass may bray a good while before he shakes the stars down.

A lot of country pubs will receive Michelin stars.

For age is opportunity no less Than youth itself, though in another dress, And as the evening twilight fades away The sky is filled with stars, invisible by day.

We are merely the stars tennis-balls, struck and bandied which way please them.

It is greater than the stars - that moving procession of human energy; greater than the palpitating earth and the things growing thereon.

If the stars should appear but one night every thousand years how man would marvel and stare.

I suppose young people think football is glamorous - soccer - it's big money and the stars of it, they look good and have a great big house and a huge Ferrari.

When it is dark enough, you can see the stars.

Have you ever, on a cloudless night, looked down from a passing aircraft flying over Canada? Endless, glowing strings of cities, towns, and homesteads. Stretching on and on, one province to the next. With only the stars in the distance.

Those who build beneath the stars build too low.

The star of oil and vinegar and the oil and vinegar of the stars.
