I have no problem with G14. How can I oppose something that as far as I am concerned, does not exist?

Because I love football and I love the footballers.

Why is it good for football to take the excitement away from fans by overcharging them for tickets to see their team?

Yes, in general, I think there is too much club football on TV.

What we have to do is to find a solution that the interests of the national teams are respecting the interests of the clubs. And also the clubs they shall respect the interests and the aspirations of national teams.

Fifa cannot sit by and see greed rule the football world. Nor shall we.

The source of wealth is from individuals with little or no history of interest in the game, who have happened upon football as a means of serving some hidden agenda.

What I am most proud of is the legacy of hope that FIFA and football leaves around the world. It makes all of the efforts and energy I pour into this job worth it.

Liverpool have won everything but never a World Championship. I am sure in the future they will once again make the effort to win the tournament. They have had good rhythm in the Premier League this season.

FIFA's goal of making the world a better place through football cannot be achieved through our efforts alone - equally important is the power which every fan of the beautiful game has at their disposal.

There is a movement in club football, which I don't necessarily consider a prime example of solidarity, because it leads us to conclude the rich are getting richer and they are using everything in the market to create an exodus from Africa.

It's up to the national associations and their leagues to limit the entry of foreign players.

It is very important that football can see beyond religion but FIFA does not just ignore its impact.

As long as you've got serious investors who wish to put money into football, I applaud. It proves that football is attractive. What upsets me, what I find scandalous, is when clubs accept fools.

FIFA stands for discipline, respect, fair-play, not just on the field of play, but in our society as well.

Racism and discrimination of any kind have no place in football.

Racism is if there are spectators or, outside the field of play, there are movements to discrimination, but, on the field of play, I deny that there is racism.

The World Cup must remain the number one competition, because it is our only source of money and, with that money, we can develop football in the whole world.

The important thing for me was that the World Cup should travel round the world.

I ransack public libraries, and find them full of sunk treasure.

There's a lot of people blocked on my Twitter for various reasons which I don't need to get into.

Man is an evasive beast given to cultivating strange notions about himself. He is humiliated by his simian ancestry and tries to deny his animal nature to persuade himself that he is not limited by its weaknesses nor concerned in its fate.

My family is a kaleidoscope... My family is like that. We're all different colors, like a prism. When we have light shine and stuff, we're beautiful. When it's dark, nothing shines, and it's a rock.

All around the world, we send our top talent into finance, technology, medicine and law - everywhere but towards expanding opportunity for our most marginalized children.

If you just, pretty much, take a random 15-month-old, just sit and watch them for 10 minutes and count out how many experiments, how much thinking you see going on, and it will put the most brilliant scientist to shame.

I was a university professor, I could talk on and on and on. Give me a podium and you have to drag me off with a hook.

To succeed it is necessary to accept the world as it is and rise above it.

I'll never be known for my work with boundaries.

There is no substitute for hard work. Always be humble and hungry.

Everyone who knew me as a child, they say they're not surprised that I became a writer because I wrote all the time. I don't remember writing, because I wouldn't have had the tools, but I think what they are saying is that I would pretend I was a writer.

Reluctant as I am to regard myself as a style icon, I would love to think I could inspire older women to make the most of themselves.

I kind of grew up on the East Coast, lived in New York for a while, then moved to L.A. So I'm not a New Yorker at all, but I'm much happier in New York; I've always liked it better.

James Taylor may be an all-American boy but he isn't Horatio Alger, and the lionizing of many rock stars by the rock press has as much to do with old fashioned rags-to-riches stories as does the straight culture's deification of its idols.

I try not to put messages in my songs. My only message is man's communication with his fellow man. I want to narrow the gap of strangeness and alienation.

Walt Disney grew up in Marceline, but almost every child has grown up with his beloved characters.

Scientific understanding is often beautiful, a profoundly aesthetic experience which gives pleasure not unlike the reading of a great poem.

If I see what you're up to on Facebook but I don't see your updates on Flickr, I'll still care about Facebook.

Everything has to have some kind of a point for people to breathe easy. What's the point of life? I have no clue, but sometimes there are things that just attract us and pull us in a certain way.

Most people are good at too many things. And when you say someone is focused, more often than not what you actually mean is they're very narrow.

I don't think you can get any more working class than me. Everyone seems posh to me.

I'll always be poor in my mind.

We both agreed that Stalin was determined to hold out against the Germans. He told us he'd never let them get to Moscow. But if he was wrong, they'd go back to the Urals and fight. They'd never surrender.

Action speaks louder than words but not nearly as often.
