Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is…

We’ve got strong parents. We were brought up with the right values. Of course, you make mistakes over the years. We all know marriage is difficult at times, and it’s about working through it. Whenever we’ve come up against tough times, we know each other better than anybody knows us. We have an…
She was obviously there for a reason, and I was hoping that I was that reason, and apparently I was. She had a couple of glasses of white wine, and I saw my opportunity while she was slightly tipsy and I spoke to her for 25 minutes and I got her number. So it worked.
I never grew up expecting to be famous.
I’ve never seen myself as a celebrity, but I see it in a positive way, the fact that people are still interested in most parts of my life.
Living in L.A. was incredible. I’m an English boy, and I love being in London, but I miss living in America, because we were welcomed with opened arms.
The tattoos are a way of me expressing deeper feelings about the things I care about and love. Am I done? Probably not.…Think Victoria’s given up on telling me to stop now. She used to. She used to say, ‘Do you have to?’ But she knows it makes me happy.
I think it’s important to always look after yourself whatever your age. For me it feels instinctive and I don’t wear something because of what anyone would think. It has to feel right for the person and if people are complimentary, then it’s a bonus.
Always have something to look forward to. Whatever it is. If you don't have that, you lose interest, you become stale.
I love an old man pub and having a great Sunday roast in front of a log fire surrounded by lots of old people. That's my ideal situation. I have a great local near me and I go in there so much no one bothers me anymore. I've been in there with Tom Cruise and they didn't bother him either.
My kids always want me to make pasta. They absolutely love it, so I wanted to be able to make them great pasta. Now I make linguine all the time for them.
Everybody wants to make their parents proud.
Of course you make mistakes and we all know that marriage is difficult at times. It is about working through it. We have come up against tough times. But we know each other better than anyone else knows us. And we talk. Do we stay together because it is a brand? Of course not. We stay together…
I’ve never needed an excuse to come to Hong Kong! I love this place. For many years now, I’ve been coming here. First with Real Madrid, then obviously now on the business side. I think it’s such an energizing city. As soon as you step in, you feel the energy. You feel the excitement. You can see…
I found playing football for more than 20 years was my passion. It was something that I didn’t see as a joke. I would have done it for free over 20 years and that’s how I’ll always feel about football.
