We have to win that game. But we have to win every game, that's the way it's always been.

It will be a difficult couple of days. It's difficult now and it will be difficult tomorrow.

A coach once told me there are four factors that determine a players' performance: his tactical awareness, his physical condition, his technical ability and his mental strength.

A collection of strong-minded individuals who have learned how to dismiss mistakes, disappointments and problems in their personal life make up a strong team. If the majority of the team have that then, as a unit, you are almost impossible to beat.

As football gets more globalised, it's probably more important than ever to have one or two players in your team who have grown up in the same streets or been to the same schools as the hard-core fans.

For sportsmen or women who want to be champions, the mind can be as important, if not more important, than any other part of the body.

I developed a mechanism so that whatever mistakes I made, I would bounce straight back. Whatever was happening off the pitch, I could put it to one side and maintain my form. Call it mental resilience or a strong mind, but that is what we mean when we talk about experience in a football team.

I have been a Manchester United fan all my life and fulfilled every dream I've ever had. I am disappointed that my playing days are at an end. However, it comes to us all and it's knowing when that time is and for me that time is now.

I would have been about seven years old when the formative years of my competitive football education began. I was playing in the local leagues around Manchester, playing against lads from tough areas who had been taught they had to fight for everything.

In my 20 years in football, I was fortunate enough never to have experienced relegation. And while there is the pressure of expectations at the top of the league, at the bottom it comes in fear and trepidation, which is almost worse.

It is one of my pet hates when I see players who have agents who do everything for them. They don't know how to set up their own bank accounts, they don't know what they are spending their money on and they can't make their own decisions.

Nothing improves your confidence and brings a team together more than winning a cup.

One year's poor form remains a blip but if it happens next year, you can say it's a trend.

Playing for England was one long roller-coaster: some ups and downs, but also quite a few moments when you're not really sure if you're enjoying the ride.

Ryan Giggs will go down as the most successful British footballer of all time and I cannot see anyone ever overtaking him. He's on the brink of his 13th league title, after all.

Something interesting has happened over the last 10 years in the Premier League. Players who once would have been discarded as expensive and too old have become important parts of title-winning squads.

The best managers out there at the moment are Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho but they are at other clubs - Real Madrid and Barcelona.

There are lots of concerns facing English football but for me the major one is the way in which football clubs are run by owners, whether they are growing organically and sustainably and how that is being policed by the football authorities.

There are some agents who do a good job looking after players but there are others who stifle and mollycoddle them.

There have been times when I've reflected on my international career and just thought: 'Well that was a massive waste of time.' Sorry for sounding sour, but my best mate, David Beckham, got butchered after the World Cup in 1998, then my brother, Phil, after Euro 2000.

We live in a multi-cultural society far more open to international ideas. If you'd told me 20 years ago I'd drive through Bury and see someone sitting outside a cafe drinking a latte, I'd have laughed. In fact, I wouldn't have even known what a latte was.

When I was a child, the FA Cup was one of the crown jewels of the sporting year, along with the Grand National, Wimbledon and The Open. But with every announcement it seems to lose another piece of its identity. First it was sponsors added to the name, followed by the semi-finals at Wembley.

With good coaching, proper motivation and the right club structure with organic growth, you can achieve an awful lot in football.

Were at the top of the cliff and we can either fall off the edge or keep climbing.

A coach once told me there are four factors that determine a players performance his tactical awareness his physical condition his technical ability and his mental strength.

It will be a difficult couple of days. Its difficult now and it will be difficult tomorrow.

What I want to give in the theatre is beauty, that's what I want to give.

Space enthusiasts are the most susceptible demographic to delusion that I have ever seen.

I think I went through everything anyone who had a long career needed. I needed quiet. I needed to raise my children.

Work needs to be a reflection of your social values. You are how you work!

In the end, we may be hurting the very people we should be concerned about - the inner-city poor, those who already have to live with many risks in their daily lives, those who do not have clout here in Washington.

I think the notion that we have all the democracy that money can buy strays so far from what our democracy is supposed to be.

I strongly believe that those of us who are privileged to have wealth should contribute significantly to try and create a better world for the millions who are far less privileged.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

The good thing is that I'm always honest.

At Ozon, salaries are evaluated every year based on market benchmarks which are gender neutral.

I love being irreverent. But I hate being irrelevant. I love being irreverent because at the end of the day your actions belie your intentions.

I can't walk in high heels, never mind dance in them.

Whatever we put our attention on will grow stronger in our life.

I've got nothing against L.A. I think it is a really beautiful place. To be able to surf and get out in the Pacific Ocean every once in a while. The hiking, all of that is amazing. I love it there.

The best thing for an actor is to try it his way. The way they do it may not work, but it may inspire me to try something else.

What I like is the acting itself. But I'm a lousy celebrity. I'm not interested in selling my private life. I take my private feelings to the work, but I want there to be a difference between me and whoever it is I'm playing.

One could argue the GOP made no progress on limiting government in their four years of total control from 2002 to 2006. If anything, government expanded like never before.

I hated being scared when I was little. Aliens really scared me.

I think a lot of the things in my life that I become most passionate about, and most excited about, are all from comics.

Some magazines are run from the top down, where the editor-in-chief decides what every article is going to be and who's going to write them, and then they're doled out. My idea is to do it the opposite way, to do it from the bottom up.

I realize that I live in the same environment that I did when I was a kid, but with less junk and better art.

You should welcome getting older in golf. With greater knowledge of your swing, you, too, can keep improving.
