Eric Cantona

I have great memories.

You can feel very quickly as a prisoner of your past, of the memories.

I don't care about the past.

Sometimes you surprise the goalkeeper and sometimes the goalkeeper surprises you. In my career, I tried to do more of the first than the second.

I always planned to retire when I was at the top and at Manchester United I have reached the pinnacle of my career.

The pressure people put on themselves and the rivalry between the teams is much more marked. And I think that's a good thing. As long as that rivalry remains within the spirit of competition, it con only spur everyone on.

You can lose in cinema too if you don't put on a good performance.

We won the European Championship last September and now the world title. That is some year for French beach soccer! Now comes the hard part. We have to keep improving and that's difficult because it's tough to do better than winning a world title.

It is unacceptable that people often have to make huge sacrifices just to find a place to live, a roof over their heads.

I see the world become so uniform. Everybody has to be the same. I like people who are different.

I try to find different ways of expressing myself. Without that I will die.

Even as a footballer, I was always being creative.
