Love is about mutual respect, apart from attraction.
I'd have to be superman to do some of the things I'm supposed to have done, I've been at six different places at six different times.
To call Keegan a superstar is stretching a point.
People say you have to hit rock bottom, and, I can tell you, almost dying is as rock bottom as it gets.
Everyone went crazy over Wayne Rooney, but I get more excited by Cristiano Ronaldo.
I must be the only person in the world who's looking forward to going into hospital. I can't wait to get it over and done with.

If I had been born ugly, you would have never heard of Pele
