carve ok
There is no privacy in our culture anymore, so I have to try and carve that out for myself, but I'm OK with it.
feels great
When you're not needed somewhere, it never feels great.
coaches dictate harder headaches hours ideas liked work
I think I have some ideas on coaching, but listen, coaches work harder than players. The hours they put in, the headaches that they have. That's the one thing I've never liked about coaching. They have all the emotion, passion and preparation without actually getting to be able to dictate what happens.
concentration front serious soon stronger
As soon as things get serious in front of the goal, I don't have any twitches... It's probably because at that moment, my concentration on the game is stronger than the Tourette syndrome.
cool
I'm on television, ticcing and twitching. I think that's kind of cool.
good
Pressure can be good. It helps you to see what you're all about.
belief bone broke family fingers gave mom morals provide stayed strong taught trying values worked wrong
My mom broke the mold. She put my brother and I first, always, and worked her fingers to the bone trying to provide for us. She taught us right from wrong and gave us very strong morals and values and belief in family, things that have stayed with me.
dealing positive public recognized
I think part of being in the public eye is getting recognized and dealing with positive and negative scrutiny.
badly front sit suffer supposed videos wearing
When I see someone wearing fur, I just want to sit them down in front of one of PETA's videos and show them just how badly animals suffer for this supposed fabric that no one needs.
few figure goes time
There are very few young goalkeepers who play at the top level. Most goalkeepers figure it out as time goes on.
best
Sometimes you just give everything you have, and you do your absolute best, and it doesn't stack up.
amazing athlete hope kids lawyer meet stop whatever
I try and tell all the kids that I meet that hope to be amazing one day and be a professional athlete or a doctor or a lawyer or whatever they want to be. I tell them they can do all that because Tourette's won't stop them.
wants
In the end, very little gets in the way of what Manchester United wants to do.
excited faith grounded helped low stay successes
My faith helped me stay grounded in defeat and victory, to not get too excited about the successes and too low about the failures.
