There's a lot more pressure on me at United. There are people out there trying to shoot you down.

If you look at my bookings, they've gone down each season. That's something I'm trying to keep improving. On the pitch you don't want any silly bookings.

I think the fans are going to expect a lot from me, as they should.

Becoming a dad means you have to be a role model for your son and be someone he can look up to.

When I was younger, I used to visualise myself scoring wonder goals, stuff like that.

Early on in my career I had a lot of bad press about my temperament, but I was only a young lad then.

I am mentally strong.

I've trained all my life. I've always been one who enjoys training so it's not something that I think I can just stop doing. It might not be as regular but I want to keep training.

I want to score in every game and win things. That's the most important thing.

I've matured since joining United, on and off the field.

The lifestyle I lead as a footballer means I am always in the spotlight.

Nice to see your home fans boo you. That's what loyal support is.

As you get older you play in more important games and that is when you start thinking about what will happen if you win or lose.

Just to confirm to all my followers I have had a hair transplant. I was going bald at 25 why not.

When you are 16 there is no fear whatsoever. As you get older you play in more important games and that is when you start thinking about what will happen if you win or lose.

Everyone who watches me play knows I am an honest player.

Growing up, watching the Premier League as far back as I can remember, feeling the trophy and having the medal around my neck was an unbelievable feeling.

I just hate losing and that gives you an extra determination to work harder.

Pulling on your country's shirt is the greatest honour a footballer can have. It's what I always dreamed of as a kid and I get a buzz every time.

I play the game as honestly as I can. If the referee gives a penalty there is nothing you can do.

I'll keep doing my training and I'm sure the goals will come.

Perfect partners don't exist. Perfect conditions exist for a limited time in which partnerships express themselves best.

Some players don't like training and I've seen some players who aren't bothered if they play or not. But I want to play every game. Sometimes you have to rest in certain games, but I want to play in every game.

Part of my preparation is I go and ask the kit man what colour we're wearing - if it's red top, white shorts, white socks or black socks. Then I lie in bed the night before the game and visualise myself scoring goals or doing well.

Don't own so much clutter that you will be relieved to see your house catch fire.

Whether we and our politicians know it or not, Nature is party to all our deals and decisions, and she has more votes, a longer memory, and a sterner sense of justice than we do.

Do unto those downstream as you would have those upstream do unto you.

Rats and roaches live by competition under the laws of supply and demand; it is the privilege of human beings to live under the laws of justice and mercy.

You can best serve civilization by being against what usually passes for it.

Nobody can discover the world for somebody else. Only when we discover it for ourselves does it become common ground and a common bond and we cease to be alone.

It may be that when we no longer know which way to go that we have come to our real journey. The mind that is not baffled is not employed. The impeded stream is the one that sings.

Be joyful because it is humanly possible.

A corporation, essentially, is a pile of money to which a number of persons have sold their moral allegiance.

Love is what carries you, for it is always there, even in the dark, or most in the dark, but shining out at times like gold stitches in a piece of embroidery.

The care of the Earth is our most ancient and most worthy, and after all our most pleasing responsibility. To cherish what remains of it and to foster its renewal is our only hope.

I don't believe that grief passes away. It has its time and place forever. More time is added to it; it becomes a story within a story. But grief and griever alike endure.

There are no unsacred places; there are only sacred places and desecrated places.

What I stand for is what I stand on.

...And we pray, not for new earth or heaven, but to be quiet in heart, and in eye clear. What we need is here.

Let us have the candor to acknowledge that what we call "the economy" or "the free market" is less and less distinguishable from warfare.

The cloud is free only to go with the wind. The rain is free only in falling.

Better than any argument is to rise at dawn and pick dew-wet red berries in a cup.

Eating is an agricultural act.

There comes . . . a longing never to travel again except on foot.

One of the most important resources that a garden makes available for use, is the gardener's own body. A garden gives the body the dignity of working in its own support. It is a way of rejoining the human race.

If you don't know where you're from, you'll have a hard time saying where you're going.

When going back makes sense, you are going ahead.

...the care of the earth is our most ancient and most worthy and, after all, our most pleasing responsibility. To cherish what remains of it, and to foster its renewal, is our only legitimate hope.

If you can read and have more imagination than a doorknob, what need do you have for a 'movie version' of a novel?

I have always loved a window, especially an open one.
