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

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.

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.

Young actors often don't think of the consequences of doing nudity or sex scenes. They want the role so badly that they agree to be exploited, and then end up embarrassing family, friends, and even strangers.

On the road to equality there is no better place for blacks to detour around American values than in forgoing its example in the treatment of its women and the organization of its family.

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.

I have a project at HBO and one at the Family Channel coming that are being looked at. Aside from that I am not doing much more than playing golf and some skiing.

I didn't tell anybody about my plan because I was convinced my family or friends would stop me. I didn't think much about what would happen afterwards.

You know raising a family in the lifestyle of a professional athlete can be very difficult.

I love to see my family together. That's what life is about. It's about family.

Like religion, politics, and family planning, cereal is not a topic to be brought up in public. It's too controversial.

It was an idea we had when Al was in the Senate - to organize and moderate an annual conference that would look at government policy through the lens of the family to help identify ways that the family can be supported and strengthened.

Even though we were all celebrities to a certain extent, we all looked at each other as family.

The steady expansion of welfare programs can be taken as a measure of the steady disintegration of the Negro family structure over the past generation in the United States.

A growing awareness of the depth of popular attachment to the family has led some liberals to concede that family is not just a buzzword for reaction.

I love my family.

I have other obligations now - the show, my family, my life... though I know that without my sobriety I wouldn't have any of those things.
