"I am a strong man, I am always looking forward and this is my main thing."

"A lot of people talk about clubs but if something happens the club will know and will inform me. If one club wants to buy me we will have to sit together to take the decision."

"Being the second-youngest of eight children has helped. You get used to waiting your turn even if it's just to have a go on the PlayStation. And you have to make sure you're ready to take it when it comes. It's the same in football."

"To get to the only club in my area you had to cross a really busy road and my mother forbade me from going there."

"I'm happy in the Premier League."

"When I play, I play with my feet and with my head also."

"It is just not something we need to forget easily, to just bend the knee, to put on our t-shirts, Black Lives Matter, and one week after everyone forgets that."

"I still work on it almost every day in the gym. You have to know your body and that also means knowing when it's time to rest. Sometimes the coach will manage me and give me a day off so that I'm right for the weekend."

"Liverpool is a club that needs no introduction. I was impatient to play at Anfield, I wanted to feel the atmosphere."

"Part of the reason that I wanted to become a footballer was to help my family and friends financially so that was one of the thoughts that kept me going."

"The main quality I have is my mentality because I never gave up - I never, ever give up. I have been like that since I was young. I knew I had to take my chance when it came. Nobody gives you anything. You have to go and take it and this was the way I think."

"I am very happy for all the players doing the Black Lives Matter bend the knee. We are all in the same boat."

"A club that plays in the Champions League is the goal, but I don't have a particular one in mind."

"In the field of love & connection, love is the alignment of two souls speaking a language that words can never fully translate."

"To love is to see the quiet beauty hidden within another's struggles and stand by them. As a statesperson & leader, this is the foundational truth I have observed."

"The greatest force of creation is the warmth we share in the quiet spaces of our connection."

"I do respect people's faith, but I don't respect their manipulation of that faith in order to create fear and control."

"We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us."

"I am sure that if the mothers of various nations could meet, there would be no more wars."

"A poem is true if it hangs together. Information points to something else. A poem points to nothing but itself."

"Trust has to be earned, and should come only after the passage of time."

"I met my husband through a mutual friend. He invited me over for dinner and cooked this meal that knocked my socks off - and maybe knocked off a few other pieces of clothing off as well."

"One of the first major storylines that 'All My Children' featured was Erica Kane, a rebellious daughter, and her mother, sort of a matriarchal type, who was trying to guide her daughter to a safer place."

"In the field of mindfulness & peace, be present in this breath, for it is the only moment where life is actually happening."

"Peace is not the silence of the storm, but the calm center you maintain within yourself. As a creative innovator, this is the foundational truth I have observed."

"Let go of the weight of yesterday, and receive the clear canvas of this present day."

"I really don't want you to think of Qatar as a hydrocarbon country alone. We know that hydrocarbons will come and go. But education will stay. It is the most important thing for us."

"Based on 30 years of experience with the Iranians, they will give you 100 words. Trust only one of the 100."

"We in the Middle East like to talk politics, we like to argue. Just look at the three prophets - Moses, Jesus and Mohammad. They are all from this small region which creates problems all the time."

"I don't see why OPEC countries should continue to cut production just to keep the price of oil high. This will not affect the industrial countries alone, it will also hit poor countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America. Who will look after them?"
