Zitat des Tages von David Beckham:
I love little kids looking up to me, young players looking up to me, respecting me.
I never do anything half-heartedly. I will continue to work hard and play hard and do everything I can to be successful, whatever I do.
I respect all religions, but I'm not a deeply religious person. But I try and live life in the right way, respecting other people. I wasn't brought up in a religious way, but I believe there's something out there that looks after you.
We've been asked to do 'Playboy' together, me and Victoria, as a pair. I don't think I'll ever go naked, but I'll never say never.
With United, we'd all grown up together, we all wanted to win the biggest trophy in football. We did it togther.
On the fragrance side, I think it's important that it's not overpowering, a fragrance on a man or a woman. I think it's important to see the person before you smell them. Less is more.
I am happier now than I have ever been.
Tom Cruise, he's a lot more famous than me.
Alex Ferguson is the best manager I've ever had at this level. Well, he's the only manager I've actually had at this level. But he's the best manager I've ever had.
My parents have been there for me, ever since I was about 7.
Being hardworking is the best thing you can show children.
I've felt a little tired, but I'm only 24. I love playing football. That's my job and that's what I love doing.
I wasn't as fit as I would of liked to have been, going to the World Cup, but I'm not sure what difference that made.
Throughout my career I have been pretty successful, I've played for some pretty big teams, represented my country quite a few times, and played for managers without sentiment.
I'm not one of those people who is not looking forward to getting old. I'm happy with my life.
I like nice clothes, whether they're dodgy or not.
I don't regret the decision to retire. My body was losing its edge. I was taking longer to recover from injuries. You have to get out at some point.
Over the years, when I've seen players retire, when you ask them about it, they always say you'll know when you're ready, and I think I know when I'm ready. I think I'm ready.
Every situation has changed me as a person.
As a footballer, you always want to test yourself against the best.
My parents were always very strict, and they gave me the right beliefs in how to treat people. It was very strict and all about morals - I try to pass that on to my own children.
Everyone's been so quick to say that I'm really thick or I haven't got a brain. People will think whatever they want to think.
I still look at myself and want to improve.
When I was a kid, I thought my dad was a little bit harsh with me at times. Sometimes I needed an arm around me instead of my dad telling me what I did wrong, but it obviously worked.
When you have kids you do grow up. I have just started realising it now-it changes the world, having children.
I would never complain about the position I'm in or the attention I get. At the end of the day, I'm very lucky to have what I have and do what I do, but I don't see myself as any different from anyone else who works hard and is a dad and a husband.
I've got my wife. I've got my four kids. I've got parents, grandparents still, and three really good friends. It's all you need. I'd rather have three really good friends than 20 good friends.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing.
My private life is perfect. If your private life and your life outside football is good, then it is good on the field for you.
I feel this pang of regret whenever I watch sport; this sense that I will never play a big match again.
I love scoring goals for England and playing for England. That's one of the reasons I didn't retire - I love playing for my country.
The spotlight will always be on me, but it's something I'm learning to live with as the years go by.
There's room for boys' and girls' football in the world-that's what I believe.
I don't think I'm really in a situation to complain, because I consider myself to be privileged to be doing what I do.
Being at a club that supported me meant a lot.
We stay as a team. I might be England captain, but that doesn't mean I get treated differently.
