I'm personally not prepared to put my children in that situation,
If Manchester United came out and said they would retire the shirt, it would be an amazing tribute to a great man.
In 2012, I can take my children to an Olympics which we might never had had the chance to do. ... This is such a huge lift for our country.
Can we trust Sven? We can definitely trust him,
I needed two stitches after Alex (Ferguson) kicked the boot at me.
I'm confident enough to overcome anything and carry on. There's always pressure taking penalties, whether it's on the Hackney Marshes (in London) or in the World Cup final, ... I'll put myself up again and take another one.
I'm captain but so many other players are captain of their club sides and we need that. We are lucky to have that.
I haven't got enough time. I prefer to listen to music, although I do love fashion magazines,
Beckham is the player who works more than anyone here and he plays in a position that is not his. He makes sacrifices for the team. He does not play just to sell shirts.
I didn't feel as fit in the second half of the season as I did in the first half,
He's the man who brought me to the club and that's why people have turned around this morning and said 'will I be leaving?'. I've got a great relationship with him but I've also got a great relationship with the other board members and directors and players and fans.
But I haven't got any advice for him because I'm sure his parents can do that for him,
I am very happy at Madrid. I have two years left on my contract and I would like to finish my career there.
I don't think we could have thrown anything more at them. They defended exceptionally and we just couldn't break them down. I expected a few goals but overall I wish them good luck because they are a good team.
