I wouldn't even mention myself in the same breath as someone like big Paul.

He was a fantastic player, but the thing that impressed me most about Paul was his manner off the pitch. He was always very humble about his achievements and had a lot of time for the paying public and people in general.

I never felt I would be part of the international scene for 50 caps in my wildest dreams.

I never felt I would get to the stage where I would to have to actively think about retiring from international football as I always thought it would pass me by.

I am hugely proud to have played for Ireland.

I became more confident within myself and matured as a person and become a little bit more opinionated - maybe the lads might say a little bit too opinionated for their liking but that is just a natural progression for a player.

I definitely want to be involved but only while I think I can make a contribution and I make a difference.

It will be difficult to let go but it is going to happen sooner rather than later in my case.

I enjoyed seven years at Wimbledon and there were high and low points.

Looking back I find it hard to believe that I could forge a career in anything other than football but I didn't do too badly in my final exams and there were a few business-related courses that interested me.

My political science degree is always on the back-burner. I took my LSAT, so even if I want to take the LSAT again, I know what I'm getting into. I'll keep it on the back-burner. Who knows, maybe with my popularity, I can have a career in politics with a law degree. I think it'll work out either way.

Never put off till tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.

Whether it's digital or physical, a pencil or a pen: line work. Humans are making things. And out of that comes the entire designed world we live within.

I love 'Cheers.' I didn't watch it growing up, but I watched it getting ready to do the first season of 'New Girl.' It bowls me over every time I see it. The romance, the comedy, the performances - every bit of it is just so compelling.

'The Cosby Show' changed America's opinion on so many different topics and opened so many people's eyes, and so you really learned immediately the power of what you were doing, that there was a power in portraying a role, and you were made aware of the effect that it could have on people, so it does raise the bar.

The key to success is action, and the essential in action is perseverance.

Once the film is out and a lot of people are seeing it, it becomes almost owned by the cinemagoers of the world.

The American Dream never really existed. It was a marketing scam.

Unfortunately, I think YouTube is going down the route of rewarding the select few around content creation, be it with partnerships or with ways of funding original content.

My wish for the new millennium is for all children... to grow up wiser, and stronger and more prosperous for the future than ever before.

I really do think that dreaming and fantasies are very important to the human psyche and the soul. That's why I want to act.

I love improvisation.

I'm not that interested in what people make of it, or how people consider me. That's nothing to do with me.

Some players like to change clubs around the green to hit high or low shots. I play all of my short-game shots with my 54-degree sand wedge and change my ball position to hit it higher or lower. I think it's easier to learn one club than four.

Presidential power was overruled by the high bench in July 1974, when President Nixon was ordered to turn over some audio tapes of his White House conversations, including the 'smoking gun' tape of June 23, 1972, that revealing the Watergate cover up.

Love to be real must cost it must hurt it must empty us of self.

It's not just parliament that requires radical modernisation. It's our democratic processes.

My only feeling about superstition is that it's unlucky to be behind at the end of the game.

My dad never took himself too seriously. He always treated everyone with respect, and he made sure I was like that, too. I show up, I hit my mark, and I say my lines.

I am gratified by Arsenal's interest, certainly, but my objective is to come back for Milan and do well at Milan.

As I prepare to take over the reins of your government, I ask each of you to join me in the process of governing.

Anyone who thinks consumption can expand forever on a finite planet is either insane or an economist.
