For me, football is just a game, not a drama.

For me, football is just a game, not a drama.

I gave everything in my career so I have no regrets at all.

I was the classic midfield organiser who could also score goals.

During such a competition players are there for a long time as well as all the people around them. They need to train, to eat, to go out. There ought to be something in it for everyone. On that particular point, my experience has been a bonus.

The team which I led to the 1992 European Championship Finals is the only one in the history of the entire competition to have won every single one of its qualifying matches.

Some games you win, some you lose, and some you draw.

Consequently, I won just about everything I set out to win, everything bar the World Cup, of course. But even now, I don't regret that, because I was part of a team which twice reached the semi-finals.

We arrived in Argentina with a lot of injured players, including our goalkeeper. Also we were unlucky to be drawn in the same group as the two tournament favourites Italy and Argentina.

At times like that it's difficult to remember what's at stake, that history is in the making. As a player you feel so cut off sometimes, it can be tough... Which is why it is an enormous advantage to play at home.

The match against Brazil was football at its best. Both sides had opportunities to win the game.

What differences were there between Maradona and Platini?

We were the best team in the world: European champions in 1984, we qualified without a hitch and 86 was to be the swan song for a very experienced side.

In any case, you can't turn back the clock.

The 1984 European Championships were held in France and that was something important. I felt on form then, even though I was practically always injured at all the World Cups. It's a great memory. But in any case, the past is past.

I was never a prisoner to my footballing status.

For me football is more about making the right pass at the right time.

At Euro '92 itself, we bowed out to the eventual winners, Denmark, in our final group match.

When I follow the finals of the European Cups, I look at all the aspects surrounding protocol, to get some ideas. I am interested in personalities, sponsors and the stands. But as soon as the whistle goes, it's all on the pitch.

There would probably be less of a frenzy among the French public.

In 1986, we gave it our best shot but we didn't get the run of the ball.

Whenever I was on the pitch, I always tried to win.

You know, my role as Vice Chairman is a lot less tiring than playing matches every three days.

I was playing the best football of my career at the time, finishing top scorer in Italy three year's running. There were other good players around but I think I was the best at that time.

A football team represents a way of being a culture.

I did radio back in the era when we did radio drama.

By obtaining a sense of its place in the unfolding drama of life, set in an ecological theatre, so we can understand why it has become one of the leading players.

I had an amazing experience working with great people. I had a great family, a typical family with drama in certain areas, and that's pretty much everywhere in everyone's life.

Comedy is so hard; it's so much harder than drama. The pacing of it, the energy of it.

I was always a drama queen. I remember playing in the kitchen, trying to get my mom to think I was dead and call the police. When she didn't, I would cry. I was always theatrical. I don't think any of my relatives are surprised.

You have to go to the ultimate situation in drama.

Any long work in which poetry is persistent, be it epic or drama or narrative, is really a succession of separate poetic experiences governed into a related whole by an energy distinct from that which evoked them.

The drama may be called that part of theatrical art which lends itself most readily to intellectual discussion: what is left is theater.

I think the American West really attracts me because it's romantic. The desert, the empty space, the drama.

For me, football is just a game, not a drama.

The more commercial work that is happening, the more people are operating cameras and are setting up studio lights, the greater the opportunity for drama production to happen.

I'm doing music, and we both want to do some drama.

Culture clash is terrific drama.

I want to do drama, light comedy, the whole range.

We respond to a drama to that extent to which it corresponds to our dreamlife.

I always feel like an interloper when I do serious drama. It's my own paranoia.

Michigan is two radically different places - the North and the South which makes for good drama and contrast.

When the time came to make a decision about what do in life, I found myself thinking that acting was the thing I loved to do, so I applied to drama school. And then, I didn't get in - twice.

When I read great literature, great drama, speeches, or sermons, I feel that the human mind has not achieved anything greater than the ability to share feelings and thoughts through language.

I didn't get along with Lindsay Lohan on 'Confessions Of A Teenage Drama Queen', but you have to consider that we were 16-year-old girls. I haven't seen Lindsay since then, but I imagine she's grown and become a different person. I know I have.

A good drama critic is one who perceives what is happening in the theatre of his time. A great drama critic also perceives what is not happening.

The Russian drama began at the end of 1991, when the Soviet Union mercifully ended. Russia and 14 other new countries emerged from the ruins of the Soviet Union. Every one of those 15 new states faced a profound historical, economic, financial, social and political challenge.

A drama critic is a person who surprises the playwright by informing him what he meant.

When you're young you have no worries, no drama, only your imagination. It's the best!
