I didn't want really to be involved in a normal soccer club.
I like to stay at home and make cinema in my head.
I started beach football in Monte Carlo when I retired from football in 1997. I liked the game very much.
Some people need to stay at the top. They are afraid to re-start from zero because they fear the critics.
I don't want to be in 'Terminator'. I don't want to go to Hollywood.
When times are difficult, I tell myself, 'I'm just passing through.'
A home is crucial, the foundation of a stable family.
Sometimes in life one experiences an emotion which is so strong that it is difficult to think, or to reason.
Become a legend? But I am already.
I found leaving Manchester United very, very hard.
We all seem to be about aggression and greed. It's a massive pressure that affects us all.
You can feel very quickly as a prisoner of your past, of the memories.
I would love him to save me a place in his team, George Best that is, not God.
Ferguson, as a manager, and Ken, as a director, are very similar. One's a great manager, the other a great director, but both have a lot of humanity and a lot of humility. They always give you the energy... with Ferguson when we played a game it was like it was his first game - he's so passionate and gives you ambition every time. And Ken works the same way - they're very similar.
