I observe the world and the people surrounding me.
I don't need to be involved with a game watched by millions of people to be fulfilled.
I know that I have a face, a look, people aren't used to seeing. A presence.
Some people need to stay at the top. They are afraid to re-start from zero because they fear the critics.
It is unacceptable that people often have to make huge sacrifices just to find a place to live, a roof over their heads.
I like to be fascinated by the people I photograph. Sometimes I don't admire them but I'm interested in them.
I see the world become so uniform. Everybody has to be the same. I like people who are different.
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.
When people are talking about you, it means that you exist.
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.
Not really. I watched some Chelsea games and I don't really like the way they play.
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.
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 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.
