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.

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.

The principal rule of art is to please and to move. All the other rules were created to achieve this first one.

All enterprises that are entered into with indiscreet zeal may be pursued with great vigor at first, but are sure to collapse in the end.

Let me first state that I believe that marriage is a sacred union between one man and one woman.

Entropy theory is indeed a first attempt to deal with global form; but it has not been dealing with structure. All it says is that a large sum of elements may have properties not found in a smaller sample of them.

There is no need to do any housework at all. After the first four years the dirt doesn't get any worse.

The avantgarde are people who don't exactly know where they want to go, but are the first to get there.

I never taste the wine first in restaurants, I just ask the waiter to pour.

After the first miscarriage, I tried to take the attitude that it was my body's way of telling me that this pregnancy wasn't meant to be.

Before and during the first phase of the war his administration repeatedly maligned the UN but now, that Iraq has turned into a quagmire, it is asking the UN for help.

You look at the whole Human Rights questions, I happened to be there at just the right time when the country was awakening - this goes to the first question you asked - the whole country was awakening to a hundred years of injustice that hadn't been resolved yet.

So, first you have to be able to play with a metronome. Then you take your freedom. If you play in an orchestra, you got to watch the conductor, he is like a metronome, but it is more difficult because he can change rhythms.

My first figure was a SLAYER eagle. And the dragons and the tribals are all I have got.

We're parents first, and once you have kids, everybody knows that you have priority lists. Number one is your family and everything else just kind of finds its place.

Everything has to be pulling weight in a short story for it to be really of the first order.
