I have never had the opportunity to play in England, so I know little about it.

I have never had the opportunity to play in England, so I know little about it.

I have decided to come back for Les Bleus.

I have a need to play intensely every day, to fight every match hard.

We are well aware of the task ahead of us in what will be a very difficult match but which we all dream of playing.

I am first of all from La Castellane and Marseille.

I don't know if we are the best team in the world. I am lucky to be playing alongside some of the best players around. It's a dream.

I have no message.

The England team must always be respected. They always fight to the end.

Music was important. Football was the easy part.

The only important thing I have to say is that my father never fought against his country.

I was lucky to come from a difficult area. It teaches you not just about football but also life. There were lots of kids from different races and poor families. People had to struggle to get through the day.

To be recognised by a whole country is incredible. This is massive.

We were a family who had come from nothing and now we had respect from French people of all sorts.

A Mediterranean city is really my culture.

I love Madrid. I am happy to be here. I have been here three years and hope to be here longer. But I am proud of where I come from and never forget the people I grew up with.

I'm very inspired by him-it was my father who taught us that an immigrant must work twice as hard as anybody else, that he must never give up.

I may have had a lot of luck in my life, but I still need to find a challenge in the game.

It's the first time it's happened to me and maybe the last. It's a strange sensation, not normal for me. I can't remember scoring three goals, even when I was a kid.

My passion for the game comes from the city of Marseille itself. Unfortunately I can't go back there as much I want to because I play a lot here and abroad.

We must not let ourselves get driven off course, no matter what happens we must stick to our natural game.

We'll do it, we'll do it.

It will be a physical encounter but we must not respond in kind.

I am proud of where I come from and never forget the people I grew up with. Wherever I go, La Castellane is where I want to go back to.

I have won many awards and I am very happy about this, but I am not the best player in the world.

I think Marseille is probably a place like Liverpool, very vibrant and very tough.

It doesn't matter how many times you win an award, it is always very special.

It was my father who taught us that an immigrant must work twice as hard as anybody else, that he must never give up.

Life is full of regrets, but it doesn't pay to look back.

My memories of events and games are fragmented.

Real Madrid is the most important thing that happened to me, both as a footballer and as a person.

Sometimes words are harder than blows.

The door can never be closed for good to any player.

There are evil people, and I don't even want to hear those guys speak.

To be recognised by a whole country is incredible.

It is too maddening. I've got to fly off, right now, to some devilish navy yard, three hours in a seasick steamer, and after being heartily sick, I'll have to speak three times, and then I'll be sick coming home. Still, who would not be sick for England?

The people of England are the most enthusiastic in the world.

And it was only released in London last week, so when I go back to England Monday or whatever, I am expecting heaps of adulation. I'm hoping there is. If that doesn't happen I will be disappointed.

I've got a farm in England where I breed horses.

For me, the great problem growing up in England was that I had a very narrow concept of what God can be, and it was damn close to an old man with a beard.

I love England and the historical aspect of it.

There is probably nothing wrong with art for art's sake if we take the phrase seriously, and not take it to mean the kind of poetry written in England forty years ago.

As regards this country, in which protection has always to some extent existed, it is the best customer that England ever had, and our demands upon her grow most steadily and regularly under protection.

In England we have come to rely upon a comfortable time-lag of fifty years or a century intervening between the perception that something ought to be done and a serious attempt to do it.

I look a hundred and weigh 110 - you won't love me when you see the wreck England has made me.

Churchill knew the importance of peace, and he also knew the price of it. Churchill finally got his voice, of course. He stressed strategy, but it was his voice that armed England at last with the old-fashioned moral concepts of honor and duty, justice and mercy.

In general, science journalism concerns itself with what has been published in a handful of peer-reviewed journals - Nature, Cell, The New England Journal of Medicine - which set the agenda.

Watch MTV and you can see what the music scene is like in England. The Spice Girls? Not a lot of creativity in the commercial area. There are still great musicians in England, but not a lot being heard that much.

Never had there been such an attempt to make conquest the servant of civilization. About keeping India there is no question. England has a real duty there.
