On sand, you can never be sure of anything. An ordinary shot can take a wicked deflection at the last moment.

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.

Sometimes in life one experiences an emotion which is so strong that it is difficult to think, or to reason.

I'm just enjoying my life at the moment.

I see the world become so uniform. Everybody has to be the same. I like people who are different.

You can feel very quickly as a prisoner of your past, of the memories.

My best moment? I have a lot of good moments but the one I prefer is when I kicked the hooligan.

For me, I don't like it when there is too much interference in our lives. We're not children. It is our own life in our hands.

I am searching for abstract ways of expressing reality, abstract forms that will enlighten my own mystery.

The pressure people put on themselves and the rivalry between the teams is much more marked. And I think that's a good thing. As long as that rivalry remains within the spirit of competition, it con only spur everyone on.

I'm proud of what I achieved there, but a life built on memories is not much of a life.

When times are difficult, I tell myself, 'I'm just passing through.'

Children go where they find sincerity and authenticity.

Every experience makes you a man.

The French have only negative things to say about everything and everyone.

I have a car but it's not important.

Some people need to stay at the top. They are afraid to re-start from zero because they fear the critics.

I found leaving Manchester United very, very hard.

In football you have an adversary; in cinema that adversary is yourself.

I prefer to play and lose rather than win, because I know in advance I'm going to win.

If you have only one passion in life - football - and you pursue it to the exclusion of everything else, it becomes very dangerous. When you stop doing this activity it is as though you are dying. The death of that activity is a death in itself.

You can lose in cinema too if you don't put on a good performance.

I don't want to be in Terminator. I don't want to go to Hollywood.

I didn't study; I live.

My ancestors were fighters, something I have inherited.

I manage a team, for beach soccer. I'm the coach. Player, coach.

We all seem to be about aggression and greed. It's a massive pressure that affects us all.

I'm never bored.

I always knew I had to work hard.

I'm lucky to have the privilege of being able to choose what I want to do.

I started beach football in Monte Carlo when I retired from football in 1997. I liked the game very much.

You need a particular talent only to want to please. I don't have this talent.

I have great memories.

Often there are players who have only football as a way of expressing themselves and never develop other interests. And when they no longer play football, they no longer do anything; they no longer exist, or rather they have the sensation of no longer existing.

I apologize for nothing.

I like to stay at home and make cinema in my head.

I don't think we can be entirely happy seeing such misery around us.

I don't care about the past.

I stopped playing football because I'd done as much as I could. I needed something which was going to excite me as much as football had excited me.

I live to feel myself in danger.

In England, your life is your life.

I like to be fascinated by the people I photograph. Sometimes I don't admire them but I'm interested in them.

Manchester United is stronger than anybody in the world.

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.

What is the system? It revolves around the banks, the system is built on the power of the banks, so it can be destroyed through the banks.

I try to find different ways of expressing myself. Without that I will die.

I don't know where my medals are.

We won the European Championship last September and now the world title. That is some year for French beach soccer! Now comes the hard part. We have to keep improving and that's difficult because it's tough to do better than winning a world title.

I know that I have a face, a look, people aren't used to seeing. A presence.

I always wanted to play against the best.
