If you aren't learning, you are regressing, because more growth comes from failure than from success.

I had to overcome a lot of barriers. Until 1947, it was illegal for people from the subcontinent to migrate to the U.S. The subcontinentals were the last ethnic minority to gain citizenship. You assimilate. My name was too hard. They said, 'Shad is what we are calling you.' You go with the flow.

You balance sport and business by having a sustainable model for a club and by winning. Because winning makes people feel better.

Nike used to be known as Blue Ribbon Sports. What's now Sara Lee used to be Consolidated Foods. And Exxon was once Standard Oil Company of New Jersey. These were name changes that worked. But for all the ones that do, there are 10 or 20 that don't.

I've got my advanced scuba diving license. I'm playing tennis and exercising. I ride my bike everywhere. I've been finding new things. I've been more creative in music and doing different videos. And just meeting different people and being around and present. I'm wonderful when I'm just on nothing.

I quite enjoy sport, and I'm now an Olympic champion. It's a bit weird, isn't it?

I want to play football out on the pitch. I am not different to anyone else and the ambition never changes.
