When something goes wrong in your life, it doesn't finish you, and you should become braver, knowing that you've got to go for things in life and don't regret because you didn't try to be as good as you might be.

I'm not the authority on the subject. I'm a middle-aged white guy speaking about racism. I'm just finding it a really difficult subject to broach.

My kids don't think, for one minute, about where people are born, what language they speak, what colour they are. There's an innocence about young people that is only influenced by older people.

If you keep always doing what you've always done, you get the same results.

Good teams, whatever the circumstances or the atmosphere or the pitch, find a way of playing.

It's an incredible privilege to be the England manager, but when you sit and think about the people who have got to this point before, people I hugely respect and admire... it's difficult to put it into perspective, really.

Sometimes you have to make decisions for the bigger picture.

As part of their recovery after a match, you want players to stay in the cold water for as long as they can, but naturally, they want to get out. You might have races or games in order to keep them engaged.

I nearly missed the births of both of my children, and both were around international weeks.

You don't want to be too proud, to get carried away, but if people give you praise, you don't want to throw it back.

When you become England manager, the change in profile and interest in what you're doing is on another level.

I'm very conscious I've got a lot of faults, the same as everyone, and I have done plenty of things wrong.

In life, there are really complex, difficult jobs, and some are more complicated and difficult than others. But when you look around at inventions, or records that have been broken, you have to tell yourself that anything is possible.

It's impossible to please everybody all of the time, but you just have to believe that you're making decisions for the right reasons.

I guess, at a club, you feel supported. Sometimes, with the national team, it hasn't always felt that way.

I played international football for England, and in many games, we were technically inferior to the opposition.

I was always the captain of every club I played for, so I would expect to be somebody who put themselves forward.

In a team, you need players who are technically good and can perform under pressure.

Ultimately, playing at international level, at all age groups, is good for a player's development, and that is good for clubs, too.

In England, we've spent a bit of time being lost as to what our modern identity is.

It was very painful to be so close to a World Cup final.

We always have to believe in what is possible in life and not be hindered by history or expectations.

Whenever you name a team and whenever you pick a squad, that is when you have to make the most difficult calls. To tell a player, 'I'm not selecting you, and these are the reasons why...' it's tough.

I didn't like it as a player when I felt a coach was fudging the reasons for leaving me out. As a player, I wanted to know where I was lacking in my game and where I could improve in order to get back in the team.

In the end, success in a shoot-out is being able to perform a particular skill under pressure.

When I think back to what my dreams were as a kid, the only one I had was to play for England.

We have to make the players who haven't played matches feel valued.

A lot of teams who go on to win trophies lose in quarter-finals or semi-finals first.

If Brexit happens, there will have to be change - whether people want it or not - around work permits. It won't be freedom of movement for European players, so that landscape will change.

I have been in sport in different areas for long enough to know what my life is day to day.

Unless you're at a club long enough that can develop a philosophy of playing and recruiting players that fit that way of playing, then you have got to be adaptable.

It's important to recognise every player is different in their own characteristics, personality, and what they respond to.

Always, as a coach, you have to be thinking not to flood the players with information. You have to think what's key for the player, for that team, and how do we deliver it in a way that it might stick and have an effect.

Good decisions are not necessarily playing it short every time you get the ball. The best teams can play longer or have a threat behind or play through or around. They adapt.

I am extremely proud to be appointed England manager. However, I am also conscious getting the job is one thing; now I want to do the job successfully.

I'm determined to give everything I have to give the country a team that they're proud of and one that they're going to enjoy watching play and develop.

Good teams score late goals.

Harry Maguire's potential is huge.

I've often said it's not just the level of your opponent: it's can you handle wearing the shirt and playing for England?

I was probably scarred by getting the sack at Middlesbrough.

Every time a young player comes in, he is excited and wants to prove himself, but also in football, the other players want to prove themselves to any new player that comes in, so that competition is the only way to stimulate performance.

If you are not constantly improving and learning, then you are going to be stuck and not progress.

You have to be savvy. You have to be tactically aware, because that's what makes the difference in the big matches.

You have to cope with expectation if you want to play for England.

The players can associate playing for England with enjoyment, fun, and not being under siege and feeling everything is against them. There's an energy and a connection back. That's important in the short, mid, and long term as well.

Sometimes it's not always a good decision to play if people's energy isn't quite there.

First and foremost, I love the job I'm in. I'm proud to be England manager.

I'm sure at some point in my life, I'll want to go back to club football because people will say, 'Oh well, he did OK as an international manager, but he didn't work as a club manager.'

Young players will suffer at times and have days when they can't cope or adjust.

I'm no David Beckham.
