I'm a very stubborn person. I think it has helped me over my career. I'm sure it has hindered me at times as well, but not too many times. I know that if I set my mind to do something, even if people are saying I can't do it, I will achieve it.

Alex Ferguson is the best manager I've ever had at this level. Well, he's the only manager I've actually had at this level. But he's the best manager I've ever had.

Well I'm the Prince and I'm sort of slaying a dragon - which is something I've never done before, obviously.

It's one thing I like about America - they respect the sportsman. They put them up on a pedestal. They don't try to knock them down. And that's a great thing, to be respected by the whole country. It's so patriotic!

I love scoring goals for England and playing for England. That's one of the reasons I didn't retire - I love playing for my country.

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

I've always come back from adversity, and I've always had the mentality of proving people wrong.
