When the seagulls follow the trawler, it's because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea.
On sand, you can never be sure of anything. An ordinary shot can take a wicked deflection at the last moment.
If someone is too perfect they won't look good. Imperfection is important.
I am searching for abstract ways of expressing reality, abstract forms that will enlighten my own mystery.
I prefer to play and lose rather than win, because I know in advance I'm going to win.
I see the world become so uniform. Everybody has to be the same. I like people who are different.
I'm just enjoying my life at the moment.
You can lose in cinema too if you don't put on a good performance.
I'm proud of what I achieved there, but a life built on memories is not much of a life.
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.
For me, I don't like it when there is too much interference in our lives. We're not children. It is our own life in our hands.
You can feel very quickly as a prisoner of your past, of the memories.
My best moment? I have a lot of good moments but the one I prefer is when I kicked the hooligan.
I don't know where my medals are.
I apologize for nothing.
I'm lucky to have the privilege of being able to choose what I want to do.
My father's parents were from Sardinia and my mother's from Barcelona.
The revolution is really easy to do nowadays.
I have a car but it's not important.
A home is crucial, the foundation of a stable family.
I try to find different ways of expressing myself. Without that I will die.
It's my country but I don't want to know about France - I was born there but I feel English.
I always planned to retire when I was at the top and at Manchester United I have reached the pinnacle of my career.
It is enjoyable to make things visible which are invisible.
In football you have an adversary; in cinema that adversary is yourself.
Some films I say no to and they end up working very well, but I don't care, I just want to do something exciting.
I like to stay at home and make cinema in my head.
It is unacceptable that people often have to make huge sacrifices just to find a place to live, a roof over their heads.
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.
If you have only one passion in life - football - and you pursue it to the exclusion of everything else, it becomes very dangerous. When you stop doing this activity it is as though you are dying. The death of that activity is a death in itself.
I started beach football in Monte Carlo when I retired from football in 1997. I liked the game very much.
We knew that you don't get to be world champions without a struggle.
Sometimes in life one experiences an emotion which is so strong that it is difficult to think, or to reason.
I think I have a sense of mischief and that I can laugh at myself.
Desire is important.
I think it's better to be involved in one or two movies a year.
I don't want to be in Terminator. I don't want to go to Hollywood.
Often there are players who have only football as a way of expressing themselves and never develop other interests. And when they no longer play football, they no longer do anything; they no longer exist, or rather they have the sensation of no longer existing.
I try to be honest.
I always knew I had to work hard.
I always wanted to play against the best.
Being on stage isn't so tough compared to the football pitch.
Being French, to me, is first and foremost being a revolutionary.
Sometimes you get submerged by emotion. I think it's very important to express it - which doesn't necessarily mean hitting someone.
Children go where they find sincerity and authenticity.
We can be eaten by techniques and forget what we have inside of us.
I didn't want really to be involved in a normal soccer club.
When you arrive in England for football it's a paradise.
The real fans of football come from the working class. Now they cannot afford to come and watch the game.
