It isn't false modesty when I say this, but although I am supposed to be a famous person it doesn't mean anything to me. I just sit at home and work.
I feel very strong as an individual, but as a famous footballer I know I am prone to certain things. All the media have a continuous interest for me. It varies from once a year to every day interest.
I'd love to live in Ireland but I'd like to live as me, not what someone thinks I am. People don't understand - I lived there before I was famous.
I have always had a deep connection with my faith, and I was fortunate to have been brought up in a Christian environment. My faith is a very important part of who I am.
The action films I will make in the future will be more believable and character-based. I am now on my second cycle of fame, and I want to make films that smell real and are truthful.
I plant a lot of trees. I am a great believer in planting things for future generations. I loathe the now culture where you just live for today.
I am lactose intolerant, and I always thought it was really funny how people who are lactose intolerant continue to eat dairy, because they like it so much. And I find it not acceptable.
Kids seem to get me when I play colleges - they like it because I go after them. They'll come up after and say I am like their dads, only funny.
I am God's wheat, and I shall be ground by the teeth of beasts, that I may become the pure bread of Christ.
I try to put all I am as a person into what I do. My intelligence, my emotion. I've done that in everything.
A man doesn't cry. In my life, I've never cried. I cannot do it. I am a man. How will I cry?
I think we all have our own mission, duty, fate in life so for me somehow I think I am always walking on the edge of life and take risks.
I write from real life. I am an unrepentant eavesdropper and a collector of stories. I record bits of overheard dialogue.
I rarely joke unless I'm in front of a camera. It's not what I am in real life. It's what I do for a living.
I really don't work a whole lot as far as touring, but I do stand-up every night of my life, no matter where I am.
I gave my life to the Group Theatre, because in it I'm building something for myself. What I build, I am.
How happy I am to go to the front at last. To do my bit. To prove with my life what I think I feel.
The longer I live, the more I am enabled to realize that I have but one life to live on Earth, and that this one life is but a brief life, for sowing, in comparison with eternity, for reaping.
I am a public person and I have my private life. It's important for me that my private life stay private, that what I share with the people is my public personality.
I think I am a travel junkie, and I have never enjoyed anything else in my life more than travelling and going to places.
I have never been afraid to go a bit out there with what I am wearing on film. I tend to be a bit more conservative in real life, with mountains of black in my closet.
