Everyone's been so quick to say that I'm really thick or I haven't got a brain. People will think whatever they want to think.

When you have kids you do grow up. I have just started realising it now-it changes the world, having children.

I've got my wife. I've got my four kids. I've got parents, grandparents still, and three really good friends. It's all you need. I'd rather have three really good friends than 20 good friends.

The secret of the team's success is easy - unity and hard work.

My life here is perfect and I'm happy at Real Madrid so, of course, I want to stay as long as I can.

People react to criticism in different ways, and my way is definitely to come out fighting.

Two of my boys are Manchester United fans; one is an Arsenal fan. Whenever there is a game I can take the boys to, I love taking them.
