Playing as a striker is a nice role because I spent all my youth there so that's why I like it.

I've done so much in my career but a little part of me feels I still have unfinished business here in the Premier League.

Scoring a goal is always wonderful and gives any player confidence.

During your career, you have to make decisions. Sometimes maybe you don't make such a good decision and at the end you have to try and recreate a position.

You know that I had heard so many times people say things like, 'You could never write 'Harry Potter' and have it be about Harriett Potter because nobody would read it; people only want to read an adventure story if it's about a boy,' and I thought, 'I don't think that's true.'

I started out thinking I was going to play in the NBA; now I travel the world as a WWE Superstar. Life changes.

I always tend to write about outsiders. And what's been fun for me is, as I travel around and visit schools, is that other kids that feel the same way relate to some of my characters, and so I hope in some way that's helping them when they want to read about somebody that they can relate to.

It may seem unfashionable to say so, but historians should seize the imagination as well as the intellect. History is, in a sense, a story, a narrative of adventure and of vision, of character and of incident. It is also a portrait of the great general drama of the human spirit.
