I found leaving Manchester United very, very hard.

It's my country but I don't want to know about France - I was born there but I feel English.

I always planned to retire when I was at the top and at Manchester United I have reached the pinnacle of my career.

I stopped playing football because I'd done as much as I could. I needed something which was going to excite me as much as football had excited me.

In football you have an adversary; in cinema that adversary is yourself.

A home is crucial, the foundation of a stable family.

Actually, I wanted to act even when I was still playing football.
