My priority is always the family and Victoria [Beckham] and I always ensure we are there for our children. We work hard but family comes first.
Paul Scholes was always unbelievably talented. Quiet. And dirty. When he got his tackle right, it was a great tackle. But when he got it wrong, he could kill someone. He was so talented and a player I feel honoured to have played with.
It's a great honor... and it's an honor to be with her majesty, obviously... I'm very honored to be given this honor. (upon receiving the OBE)
He was a quiet man, Eric Cantona, but he was a man of few words...
Kids can have great passion and great ability but if you have the facilities for your particular sport that can give you the inspiration to become a sportsman.
The buzz is still with me. I get goose bumps.
I can play in the center, on the right and occasionally on the left side.
People react to criticism in different ways, and my way is definitely to come out fighting.
One thing will not change - we will be going out to win.
I always used to go for blondes and quiet girls, but Victoria is the total opposite - dark and loud.
Joining Real Madrid is a dream come true.
I have got this obsessive compulsive disorder where I have to have everything in a straight line, or everything has to be in pairs.
When you have kids you do grow up. I have just started realising it now-it changes the world, having children.
Hong Kong and Macau are both very dynamic cities. I am always inspired about the culture, people and food in these two cities. There is always so much to do and so much to explore!
