You can't ask every player to do the same thing. That's why we have amazing midfielders, defenders, forwards and keepers. You can't ask them to be of the same mold.

I don't think the game should be perfect. It's 95 percent mistakes out there - you have to work with 10 players on your side and another 11 against you. It's a crazy, chaotic game.

My philosophy about the game, for instance, is that you have players out there who really do different things.

My first career ambitions involved turning into a boy; I intended to be either a railway guard or a knight errant.

I have always had confidence in my own ability.

I don't see any possibility of Britain and the U.S. allowing a sovereign independent Iraq; that's almost inconceivable.
