The only thing I ever wanted to be was a professional football player.

I firmly believe that sleep and recovery are critical aspects of an effective and holistic training program.

I have a memory, and I can just eliminate mistakes when they come up because I've already made them.

Because my career is so important, I think I make a lot of - I wouldn't call them sacrifices, but just concessions for my job. I love what I do, and I want to do it for a long time.

The pictures of my family were designed to be on a family wall, they were supposed to be together. It was supposed to copy my mother's wall in her house.

I was a lonely child. My brother Tony and I were never very close, neither as children nor as adults, but I was tightly bound to him. We were forced to be together because we were really quite alone. We were in the middle of the Irish countryside, in County Galway, in the West of Ireland, and we didn't see many other kids.

People are saying I am against the chador. I am not. On the contrary. I am for traditional family values.

My family used to say, point-blank, 'We'd support you if we thought you could sing, or we thought you could write songs, but you can't.'
