There is nothing more important for me than God.

We all have to fight through our mistakes to become a better man.

You can insult me - you can judge me on the football pitch - that's normal. But don't touch my family. Don't touch my parents. I love them more than everything on this earth.

I know, everywhere I go, I have the door open because I am a great footballer and a great person.

Ozil is a genius. He has one-of-a-kind vision for the game. He has two eyes in the front of his head and two eyes in the back.

I was not born with a golden spoon in my mouth.

I think, on one end, we need to understand that goalkeeping is an art and is also a very important position to have in your club.

I would like Ajax to be people's favourite second team. Like in Spain, if you are a Real Madrid fan, then you can't be a Barcelona supporter. It's the same in Italy. But you can be an Ajax fan.

I am delighted to have signed for Manchester United, one of the most famous clubs in the world.

At Ajax, Juventus, and with Holland, I have played with top teams, and now I want to use my experience to reach the same goal with Fulham.

Jean Tigana wants to go to the top with Fulham, and I like that ambition.

I will miss football.

I want to finish at the top, playing well.

Everybody doubts themselves. Every writer doubts themselves, every artist doubts himself, and every football player does.

I don't hate the idea of retirement. I am looking forward to it.

I didn't find it hard to settle at United because there was a great bunch of players, great staff, and a good atmosphere at the club.

As a goalkeeper, you always expect every team to give you nightmares.

It doesn't matter whether it is your first game or your last game: you want to win.

You get confidence when you get on a roll. When you are not struggling, and you get your players back, it is bound to make everyone feel better about themselves.

It's always hard the moment you decide to stop playing. It doesn't matter if you're at a small club or a big club: it's the end of your playing career, so that's always going to be a big moment for any player.

Being at Manchester United is a great way to play at the highest level and win trophies with a team that is very closely knitted together.

When I left Ajax in 1999, I travelled to Liverpool and spoke to Houllier. I was shown around Anfield and also met with the chairman and a couple of the players. I thought about it, but when Juventus came to the table, I came to the conclusion that it would be a bigger challenge to play in Italy.

Coming to Old Trafford gave me a new lease of life.

When I was younger, I thought I would finish in my mid-30s because that is normal for most players.
