Sometimes to rest, even to watch your team-mates from the bench, is not too bad. It is part of the game and you try to be fresh when you come on the pitch.
I know I won't be a manager, I don't want to do it, never.
I have a very English coaching philosophy.
The one thing I can tell you is that I can't stand the English press, who cause me enormous problems on a personal level.
It seems that Gerard Houllier did not appreciate my personality. It bothers him to have someone around who could stand up to him.
When I knew I had the chance to play for Liverpool I couldn't refuse it.
In your career, you can't always be at the top.
Sometimes things don't go exactly as you'd wish. You have to be mentally strong to overcome those moments.
All I've ever wanted is to improve myself and become the best, which is the reason I joined Real in the first place.
When the chance came to join a great club like Liverpool, I weighed up my options and it was obviously the best move for me.
I have always been proud and happy to wear France's colours. I have always been respectful of the team. But I need people to prove they really want me to play.
For me the French team belongs to the past.
No player can win matches on his own.
It is my job to score goals but that is only one part of the team.
The club must come first.
The jobs of manager and director of football are too big for one individual - this I realised very quickly.
I like to walk down the street in England and just be myself but I could never do that in Spain. In Manchester I can walk down Deansgate and not be troubled.
When you live in England you can lead a normal life.
Nowhere is the same as England and that's why so many players want to come over here. That is why I would like to finish my career over here.
When I left Arsenal, it was because I had done everything there and a big club like Real Madrid wanted me and even David Beckham couldn't turn them down.
