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.

I play with passion and fire. I have to accept that sometimes this fire does harm.

I like to stay at home and make cinema in my head.

Ferguson, as a manager, and Ken, as a director, are very similar. One's a great manager, the other a great director, but both have a lot of humanity and a lot of humility. They always give you the energy... with Ferguson when we played a game it was like it was his first game - he's so passionate and gives you ambition every time. And Ken works the same way - they're very similar.

I'm just enjoying my life at the moment.

The real fans of football come from the working class. Now they cannot afford to come and watch the game.

Even as a footballer, I was always being creative.
