If I stay working with Pep Guardiola, if he wants me, he's just going to be a lucky man because I will be really hungry. I am the type of player for his philosophy and the way he likes his team.

Wenger is an immense manager and a great man. He takes care of his players, maybe too much. He's not a man of conflict.

The past is the past, and we have to look forward.

My parents sacrificed everything for me. My father worked on a building site and as a driver - so many jobs. My mum was at home full-time to take care of me, my sister, and two brothers.

A woman who is willing to be herself and pursue her own potential runs not so much the risk of loneliness, as the challenge of exposure to more interesting men - and people in general.

There's nothing better than getting announced you're doing a job, people slating you, then you do a job and having people go ‘he's actually all right.'"

I used to be quite a big video game player at university and post-university in that weird moment in life before you have a proper job and you've got a lot of idle time.

This is the paradox for me: in failure alone is there any possibility of success. I don't think I'm alone in this - nor do I think it's an attitude that only prevails among people whose work is obviously 'creative'.
