Every man who has an idol or admires someone can recognise its themes. It's not only a film about the relationship between fans and idols, it's also a love story, a story of a man who is depressed, who has problems in his relationship with his teenage step-children.

Some films I say no to and they end up working very well, but I don't care, I just want to do something exciting.

The French have only negative things to say about everything and everyone.

I don't care about the past.

Being on stage isn't so tough compared to the football pitch.

If you have only one passion in life - football - and you pursue it to the exclusion of everything else, it becomes very dangerous. When you stop doing this activity it is as though you are dying. The death of that activity is a death in itself.

When you arrive in England for football it's a paradise.
