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.
When people are talking about you, it means that you exist.
Those who hate or disrespect Sir Alex Ferguson , its only because he snatched away their dreams of winning.
Socrates worked towards making people question themselves. He like to provoke self-interrogation but wasn't particularly interested in the answers that emerged; he just like to set off the thought process.
It's my country but I don't want to know about France - I was born there but I feel English.
When I was banned for nine months I had an opportunity to focus on something else and I needed to focus on something else. It's who I am. I admire Miles Davis and Chet Baker a lot and I like this instrument, so I tried and I learned and practised for two months. But I stopped after that.
A good goal is one that is important and beautiful.
You need a particular talent only to want to please. I don't have this talent.
Certainly take the advice of others but always, always be yourself.
The ball is like a woman, she loves to be caressed.
I'm so proud the fans still sing my name, but I fear tomorrow they will stop. I fear it because I love it. And everything you love, you fear you will lose.
