Manchester United is stronger than anybody in the world.
I'm proud of what I achieved there, but a life built on memories is not much of a life.
When you are a rich man you are proud to own a Rolls Royce and when you are a poor man you are proud to own a Renault.
Sometimes you surprise the goalkeeper and sometimes the goalkeeper surprises you. In my career, I tried to do more of the first than the second.
We all have common frailties but we need to treasure friends more.
Being French, to me, is first and foremost being a revolutionary.
I have to wear clothes but I don't like to give an idea of what I am with clothes.
I like to be fascinated by the people I photograph. Sometimes I don't admire them but I'm interested in them.
I prefer to play and lose rather than win, because I know in advance I'm going to win.
I see the world become so uniform. Everybody has to be the same. I like people who are different.
I feel close to the rebelliousness of the youth here. Perhaps time will seperate us , but nobody can deny that here, behind the windows of Manchester, there is an insane love of football, of celebration and of music.
I am very mistrustful of people who are constantly over intellectualising things. It kills passion. You have to allow yourself to lose control from time to time.
I apologize for nothing.
I am searching for abstract ways of expressing reality, abstract forms that will enlighten my own mystery.
