I wasn't as fit as I would of liked to have been, going to the World Cup, but I'm not sure what difference that made.

To play with Zinedine Zidane was the biggest honour I have had in my career...

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 think of Milan every day, really. I was really happy at Milanello. I love the team, the staff, everybody who works there. I love the fans. I miss Milan badly, I miss Italy. I don't miss a single [Milan] game, and I don't understand those that say that Calcio is in difficulty. It's so competitive and complete.

We've been asked to do 'Playboy' together, me and Victoria, as a pair. I don't think I'll ever go naked, but I'll never say never.

I have got this obsessive compulsive disorder where I have to have everything in a straight line, or everything has to be in pairs.

When I was seven I wanted to be a footballer, but when I was 14, I wanted to be a model. Look where it's put me now!
