On sand, you can never be sure of anything. An ordinary shot can take a wicked deflection at the last moment.

You are constantly battling against your own weaknesses to make a good performence.

For me, I don't like it when there is too much interference in our lives. We're not children. It is our own life in our hands.

I like to be fascinated by the people I photograph. Sometimes I don't admire them but I'm interested in them.

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.

An artist in my eyes, is someone who can lighten up a dark room. I have never and will never find difference between the pass from Pele to Carlos Alberto in the final of the World Cup in 1970 and the poetry of the young Rimbaud, who stretches cords from steeple to steeple and garlands from window to window. There is in each of these human manifestations an expression of beauty which touches us and gives us a feeling of eternity.

You may find another Beckham or Ronaldo, but never ever will you find another Sir Alex Ferguson.
