Maybe they hate me because I'm too good!
We should make the most of life, enjoy it because that's the way it is!
For me Sir Alex was my father in football. He was crucial in my career and, outside football, was a great human being with me. Talent isn't everything. You can have it from the cradle, but it is necessary to learn the trade to be the best.
I want to be remembered as part of the group of the greatest players ever.
But I don't want to be compared to anyone like to impose my own style of play and do the best for myself and for the club here.
Scoring goals is a great feeling, but the most important thing to me is that the team is successful - it doesn't matter who scores the goals as long as we're winning.
There is no harm in dreaming of becoming the world's best player. It is all about trying to be the best. I will keep working hard to achieve it but it is within my capabilities.
I know If I score we're going to win the match.
I was saluted by Alex Ferguson when I was subbed and that made me very happy.
Today there are opportunities that no one knows if they will come round again in the future.
But the tricks I use are ones that will hopefully benefit the team.
There have been a few players described as the new George Best over the years, but this is the first time its been a compliment to me.
I've never tried to hide the fact that it is my intention to become the best
I'm aware that, whatever the circumstances, there will always be speculation about me.
