I am going to continue and bring this club forward. I am Paul Gascoigne the footballer.

I like to help create team spirit in the dressing room. I feel that I've got loads of love to give.

I never refused an autograph, never refused to buy someone a drink. Now I'm learning to say I've got other things on, instead of doing it and wondering why.

But then I always wanted to play for Rangers. Man United is a great club and Alex Ferguson is a legend.

I fought back, got injured again and I had to have another operation. I got down and depressed and I think I was drinking more than I should. Well, I know I was.

I never predict anything, and I never will.

But if I wasn't playing, I would drink Saturdays, then Sunday, then Monday. Then I would try and train and it was no good, then have another drink just to pass the day away.

I take responsibility for myself and what I do now.

Anyway, how can you sack anyone who still hasn't got a contract. I'll be there for the game and I'll stand behind the dugout giving instructions to the players from there. They will respond to me more than the next manager.

Hopefully everybody will just let me get on with my life. I'm going to.

If the fans want me out, I'll put my hands up and leave. Like a proper man. I won't make excuses, I'll leave.

I know as a manager you have to abide by the chairman's decisions. But his decisions were this team, that team, this player, that player. The chairman is a control freak.

The drink? Yes, I've had tough times in my life, especially the last year, regarding my ex-wife, my kids, I nearly broke my neck, I was on death row with pneumonia.

I've got a bit of money in the bank. I'm quite comfortable.

I'm going to do things when they are right for me.

I've learnt and I just want to be respected for what I've achieved on the pitch. I know I haven't achieved much off it but I do know I've given pleasure to people watching me play football over the years.

I thought I did well for someone who has been out for 10 or 11 months. Then I was sub against Liverpool and tried to play for the guys and work on my fitness.

Well, I did know - but I just wanted the day to pass and the next day to come and then I wanted that one to pass. It was a horrible cycle. I felt so close to having to pack the game in.

I've had to deal with everything but everyone has helped me, including Sir Alex Ferguson, to get through. George Best was a good friend of mine. We loved each other, we both knew where we were coming from.

If I want to be a better person for whoever is in my life, I have to learn.

I do want to be a manager one day. It might be 10 years, I don't know when.

At the end of it, I'll maybe do a coaching badge but I'm not going to get forced into things.

I won player of the year and players' player, two cups and two championship medals, had a great time.

I'll tell you the truth: I had a double brandy before the game but, before, it used to be four bottles of whisky. Not any more. I was fine. I had a glass of wine after the game. But it was just a mouthful.

I had to accept that I was an alcoholic, that was the main thing. I think you've got to. But I try not say that I'm an alcoholic. I prefer to say that it's a disease I've got.

Then all the foreigners started coming over. I don't mind that but a lot of teams are laying out fortunes for ordinary players and that's no good for our youngsters coming through.

I don't really do pranks any more. I have a laugh in the dressing room here, where it's safe, and the guys don't go to the papers and tell them what I've done.

You learn, right, a lot of people's problems - why they get upset, why they get down, why they turn to drink - is because they can't say one word and it's N-O, no.

I am going to continue and bring this club forward. I am Paul Gascoigne the footballer.

If I want to be a better person for whoever is in my life I have to learn.

Im a better person now and not only that Im a better man

I refuse to allow any man made differences to separate me from any other human beings.

I've got three kids, and those are mouths to feed.

My dad is a man that, for as long as I can remember, has kept a book of favorite things his kids say.

Local television and local TV news isn't telling the voters about local candidates.

Soaring prescription drug costs have placed a tremendous strain on family budgets. They have also imposed a heavy burden on employers - both public and private - who are struggling to provide affordable health insurance coverage to their workers.

Cultivate the habit of setting clearly-defined written goals; they are the road maps that guide you to your destination.

Sling your guitar to wherever you're going, and you'll be amazed by the connective power of music: It knows no boundaries, cultures or class.

You have to always work against what you did before, and even against your taste.

A man with an obsession is a man who has very little sales resistance.

You have to be really strong in the music industry, and I'm naturally very timid. That was really hard for me. You have to be tough. You have to make decisions and be a businesswoman.

I never leaked information to Woodward and Bernstein or anyone else!

Not every gay person recites poetry or has read Keats. You can get readers through anything if the characters are complicated. You can't dismiss Josey Wales' quite liberal worldview.

Sheridan is still there, he's the president of the Alliance, everything that was in place when the series is there is still there, we're just moving the camera over a couple of light years.

At dinner parties I sit below the salt now. There are a lot of interesting people there.

We must pursue immigration reform - it's something we have to do, something that starts with border security.

What are movies for if not to have the good guys triumph over the bad ones?

I just focus on one show, when this is over then I'll start looking at what is coming up.

Only by acknowledging the success and sacrifice made by those who came before us can we fully understand what we must do to ensure the liberty of those who will succeed us.
