I am reading the biography of Pep Guardiola. I find it really interesting.
There is no one better than Jose Mourinho for how he cherishes his players, and their affection for him is unique.
I want to become one of the greatest managers that has ever lived. Why not? If it doesn't happen, then I've given everything, and I'd be proud of whatever I'm able to achieve.
I had a very good upbringing, which I'm eternally grateful for.
Manchester City is the richest club in the world. They work to a budget that no one else works to, so they can write their own rules.
I always say the best players I have ever worked with are the hardest players I have ever worked with.
I want to make sure that I am always ready: that if I step off the bench, I will make a contribution, then be given my chance.
What you live for is to wake up in the morning looking forward to training.
I don't think I'll ever get away from my reputation.
I was enjoying life at West Ham; I really was. I wanted to do the whole five years there, become a favourite with the fans, and end my career there.
I've grown up with Kenny Dalglish; now, to be signed by him is a massive honour.
I have had my eyes opened to a different side to me. I'm a much happier person. There was always this Jekyll and Hyde thing with me.
In the past, before games, I would near enough make myself ill. Nerves and stuff.
My discipline in myself has got me where I am. I try to emphasise that to young players.
I've always had this crazy thought that I have to win something; otherwise, my career's a complete failure. It's ridiculous. Will a trophy change me as a person? No. Will it make me a better player? No. So what the hell am I worried about?
Basically, we are all chimps. The human side is at the front of our forehead, but the chimp is the part that lashes out. When I play, I am completely chimp-orientated.
I've been playing at a professional level for 17, 18 years now, and there's more to life. I love the game, don't get me wrong - I've cherished every moment of it.
It's difficult. I'm a single parent now, and I'm having such a battle to see my kids on a daily basis. It's so hard.
I have so much to look forward to after football.
I've kept my nose clean when I've been asked to to play out of position, and I've done it.
