"When you become an adult you just make that transition and you're right... it's fun and exciting to be an adult and exciting to have independence, but once you're out from under the cover of your family's protection and love, you sort of have to take a step back and come to terms with the fact that you won't really ever have that again in the same way. You'll never be a kid again."
Quote by -Fernando Torres
"The writing is therapeutic for me, it's an introverted process, I'm really inside my head. It's a really obsessive process. The live show, though, is the opposite. It's an extroverted process. It pushes me to connect with people, and so it pulls me out of my head and just pulls me out of myself."
Quote by -Fernando Torres
"I am a big fan of the Gallagher brothers. At Liverpool, they came a few times; they are friends of Steven Gerrard. It was nice to meet them. When I was in Spain, I couldn't speak English, so I couldn't understand the lyrics. When I came to England, I started studying music and trying to understand what my favourite songs said."
Quote by -Fernando Torres
"One of the reasons I chose to come to Liverpool was because of the mentality of the club. It's a working club and a working city. I don't know why, but I feel like one of the people here. They recognise me and wish me luck, but in Spain, they surround you and you can't do anything. I think they're happy with me here."
Quote by -Fernando Torres
"I was captain in Atletico at 19, playing in the same team as Demetrio Albertini, who won three Champions Leagues, and Sergi Barjuan from Barcelona, who had won everything, and they were 32, 33. I was a kid as captain, so I wasn't the real captain, just a kid learning from them."
Quote by -Fernando Torres
"The biggest ambition in my career is still to win the European Cup. I want to have a picture of that to look at later; I want to have that medal. You can have a contract that is better than your friends, but no player looks back and says: 'I won more money.'"
Quote by -Fernando Torres
"I remember when I first came to Liverpool, Pepe Reina helped with everything, and he made it easy for me. When I was Atletico Madrid captain, I tried to help everyone. These are the basics in football: you need to create an atmosphere and try to create a group of friends. It's not easy, and it doesn't always happen, but you have to try."
Quote by -Fernando Torres
"I didn't realise how my life was changing. When I was 17, 18, 20, I didn't realise how big football was and everything around football. How many people live for football and love football. I was a professional, but I was a supporter."
Quote by -Fernando Torres
"It's not easy to come somewhere new and have to find your place. You might feel someone doesn't like you, or you might need to find new friends. It's not easy, and I don't like this kind of thing. It's not easy, so you want to protect the players who are alone."
Quote by -Fernando Torres
"Madrid is not as big as London, but it is true when you are coming from a big city like Madrid, nothing is going to surprise you, and I am very happy to move to a city like London. It is a big city, and you can do everything you want with the respect that the English people always have."
Quote by -Fernando Torres
"Fitness is important, but the most important thing is how you adapt and the way you feel physically. To adapt to a new position. To try to change your game."
Quote by -Fernando Torres
"You have to know what club you are playing for, or you just play for yourself. Every time I put on a Liverpool shirt, I know it is more than just a football game."
Quote by -Fernando Torres
"Football is a team sport and not an individual sport. We win as a team, and every individual is better if we are part of the team."
Quote by -Fernando Torres
"When I retire, the only thing that concerns me is that no one can say that I was a bad team-mate or disrespectful or self-important."
Quote by -Fernando Torres
"I want to say thanks to the Chelsea fans because I have seen them very, very happy with me for joining Chelsea."
Quote by -Fernando Torres
"At Liverpool, I had almost everything but titles. I felt like a king, but the team was falling apart."
Quote by -Fernando Torres
"Liverpool is a fundamental part of my life. They don't remember me that way, but time will change that. I could not have chosen a better place to go when I left Atletico."
Quote by -Fernando Torres
"My son is a Liverpool fan, and he was already kicking a ball before he was one. He was born in the football city; he had no choice."
Quote by -Fernando Torres
"The Premier League is very difficult football and very different to when you play in Europe, but the player has to have experience to adapt, and this is the key point."
Quote by -Fernando Torres
"The Champions League is a big ambition, and all the footballers want to play in it; it is a very important competition."
Quote by -Fernando Torres
"After winning the European Championship with Spain, I know exactly how it feels to win a major trophy, and I know that, if we can win at Liverpool, it will feel the same or even better than it did with Spain."
Quote by -Fernando Torres
"I always live in the present. I never dream about what might happen. Why? It might not."
Quote by -Fernando Torres
"I've always been a sad person. I'm a happy person too, but it's a thing in my brain or my spirit or something, I'm just sad and really acutely aware of mortality and loss."
Quote by -Fernando Torres
"When you have a bad result, you want the next game to come as quickly as possible because a good result will make people forget about the bad result."
Quote by -Fernando Torres
"I know my statistics have not been the same as in other years but I'm fighting to get back to those statistics,"
Quote by -Fernando Torres
"I don't know what to say about myself. I don't know myself (laughs). People say my humility but I believe we're all humble in our own way. I try to stay close to my family and friends."
Quote by -Fernando Torres
"I like changing my hairstyle, much to my mother's annoyance. It depends on my state of mind."
Quote by -Fernando Torres
"I guess just personally I've become a bolder person in my day-to-day. I think a lot of it came from moving to Brooklyn. I just sort of became an adult and started speaking up for myself and not apologising for myself."
Quote by -Fernando Torres
"The songs can be dark, but the adrenaline doesn't really change, regardless of what it is I'm singing, I still have the adrenaline, it's still a high."
Quote by -Fernando Torres
"When I get to connect with people, I'm not in my head anymore and I like that, that's nice."
