I love Rooney as a player. But I am a bit worried. Rooney can become the best player in the world at 25, 26, if he knows that in football you need to be strong, train hard, go to bed early, be careful what you are eating, what you are drinking, what you do in life.
I don't care about the past.
Some films I say no to and they end up working very well, but I don't care, I just want to do something exciting.
I have a car but it's not important.
I always planned to retire when I was at the top and at Manchester United I have reached the pinnacle of my career.
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.
My best moment? I have a lot of good moments but the one I prefer it when I kicked the hooligan.
Fowler was so good at 18, and four, five years later, at 23 or 24, finished, not even for England, not even for the best teams. Finished. Completely. Out. Why?
When the seagulls follow the trawler, it's because they think sardines will be thrown in to the sea.
You retire, but you're still aching to play. But in order to play, you have to resist certain temptations, and train hard. And I just didn't have the desire to do that any more.
This is quite an elitist film and I'm not sure that every Manchester United fan would like it. It's not an action movie that you might go to to relax.
Not really. I watched some Chelsea games and I don't really like the way they play.
I don't think the world of football is so serious. It's important to have distance about things and about yourself. If we believe we are kings or gods, we become crazy. We all know it's a game and we all enjoy it together.
Every man who has an idol or admires someone can recognise its themes. It's not only a film about the relationship between fans and idols, it's also a love story, a story of a man who is depressed, who has problems in his relationship with his teenage step-children.
