We all seem to be about aggression and greed. It's a massive pressure that affects us all.

Sometimes you get submerged by emotion. I think it's very important to express it - which doesn't necessarily mean hitting someone.

Every experience makes you a man.

You can change your wife, your politics, your religion, but never, never can you change your favourite football team.

I don't play against any team in particular. I play to fight against defeat.
