I knew I wasn't going to play for the NBA.
Sometimes I tic or twitch or cough, and it's a very public thing.
When I see someone wearing fur, I just want to sit them down in front of one of PETA's videos and show them just how badly animals suffer for this supposed fabric that no one needs.
When you play against top players, sometimes you can play - you can play your utmost and you still get beat.
I wasn't a troublemaker. I wasn't impertinent. The teachers liked me. But year after year, the comments on my report cards basically came down to a single point, and it was 100% accurate: I seemed to get nothing whatsoever out of all those long hours spent in the classroom.
I've been fortunate enough to be headstrong, to be full of self-belief, and those things have never wavered for me.
I enjoy being a role model for kids.
I think there's a lot of things that need fixing at Manchester United apart from David Moyes, but in this business, you also realize the head coach is always going to be the first to go, unfortunately.
I am grateful for the willingness of both Jurgen Klinsmann and Everton manager Roberto Martinez to afford me the opportunity to spend time with my kids.
Protecting animals is very important to me, and I think speaking out against fur is an amazing cause.
There is no privacy in our culture anymore, so I have to try and carve that out for myself, but I'm OK with it.
Sometimes you just give everything you have, and you do your absolute best, and it doesn't stack up.
David Moyes was one who, at a certain crossroads in my career, he was there. And since then, I've kicked on. That's why he played such a big role in my career.
You get 15 minutes of fame, I hear, and I've had 14 minutes. The clock's ticking.
Pressure can be good. It helps you to see what you're all about.
Good keepers sniff out attacks whether with the feet or a throw out.
As soon as things get serious in front of the goal, I don't have any twitches... It's probably because at that moment, my concentration on the game is stronger than the Tourette syndrome.
I wanted to be a soccer player; I wanted to do it at the highest level.
I grew up a Michael Jordan fan; that was my first idol. But my true sports idol was Deion Sanders: he was the person I always wanted to be. I wanted to play two sports professionally, which would never happen, but to me, that was every kid's dream.
I don't sign autographs when I'm out for a meal or out with my kids. I think that's rude and disrespectful. I would never ask anyone for an autograph while they were eating dinner; that's what I was taught by my parents.
