It's not about me, it's about how I can help my team to achieve more. And I do that through scoring goals.

I can't understand why Scholes has never won the player of the year award. He should have won it long ago. Maybe it's because he doesn't seek the limelight like some of the other 'stars'.

I can’t think of a striker in the world who has scored so many important goals, never mind a midfielder.

I have to say that when I was young, when any politician was talking I wasn't even interested. Maybe they were saying some nice stuff, but then if you put Michael Jordan on TV, I was interested!

When I was 20 or 21, I didn't... I won't say care about anything, but you're like in your own world - you made something that you always wanted to do, and then you kind of think only about your family and yourself.

I always think about what I missed, and I think that was my driving force - never be satisfied with what I've done.

I take the ball, I go wide, I cross, I shoot, but when the moment beckons, I am ready to make the difference.
