I will never reject an autograph, hug or photo. I was also a fan of football.
The number 7 shirt is an honor and a responsibility. I hope it brings me a lot of luck.
Thankful Madiba for your legacy and your example. You"ll always stay with us.
I know I'm a good professional, I know that no one's harder on me than myself and that's never going to change, under any circumstances.
Sharing the cover with Irina means a lot. Irina is the most beautiful woman in the world and working with her was a surprise and something very special. It was the first time we did something together. And I enjoyed it.
I'm no longer thinking of Madrid. That dream is dead. The only thing I dream about now is Manchester United and winning the Champions League again in Rome.
I'm living a dream I never want to wake up from.
Sir Alex has a special place in my life. In fact, he was the main man. I was not famous, I was not a star. I arrived at Old Trafford as just another young talent. He was the one who told me to do all the right things. He gave me the opportunity to play in one of the biggest clubs in the world. So he is one of the most important people in the world for me. I worked with Sir Alex for a few years and I know he deserves everything that he has achieved in his career. He works so hard, he is clever, he has experience, he is a human guy.
I don't understand referees. It appears like some players can't even be touched, but in my case, everyone can hit me as hard as they can.
I don't think about one trick or the other, they just happen.
I'm always trying to be the best, on and off the pitch, is also very important. I've always taken things very seriously, since I was very young, and that's reflected in my career. Always being nominated, winning trophies for the club or individual awards, that's the culmination of many years of dedication, hard work and professionalism and that makes me very happy.
It gives me the happiest feeling in the world. I just love scoring. It doesn't matter if it's a simple goal from close range, a long shot or a dribble around several players, I just love to score all goals.
I have a few tricks and dribbles which I use a lot and when I am playing well, it is natural that they become easier. But the tricks I use are the ones that will hopefully benefit the team. What I do as an individual player is only important if it helps the team to win. That is the most important thing.
We've had some great players at this club in my 20 years, but he's up with the best.
