Football's cruel sometimes.

I don't complain when it's sunny.

I enjoy being a role model for kids.

I'll be on a beach somewhere when I'm 40.

I knew I wasn't going to play for the NBA.

The most important thing in my life is Christ.

David Moyes is someone I'm forever indebted to.

It will take a nation of millions to hold me back.

I grew up in a generation when there was no soccer on TV.

You want to be wanted, and you want people to rely on you.

I don't feel the need to be seen, to be glorified in any way.

I was a pretty popular kid, and I participated in every sport.

Pressure can be good. It helps you to see what you're all about.

Sometimes I tic or twitch or cough, and it's a very public thing.

A mother's example sketches the outline of her child's character.

Sir Alex Ferguson is one of the best managers in football history.

Good keepers sniff out attacks whether with the feet or a throw out.

I'm a gym rat; I love my hour-long afternoon sessions with my trainer.

I'm on television, ticcing and twitching. I think that's kind of cool.

I wanted to be a soccer player; I wanted to do it at the highest level.

I like to get more than my normal 10 hours of sleep nights before a game.

In the end, very little gets in the way of what Manchester United wants to do.

You get 15 minutes of fame, I hear, and I've had 14 minutes. The clock's ticking.

Stay humble, stay grounded, remember what got you to that level-and that’s hard work.

I'm an old dog; I don't get too excited. I don't get caught up in all the mass hysteria.

The President doesn't ring people out of the blue, so you know you've done something well.

Three mornings a week, I exercise before eating - it's called 'fasted cardio' - to burn fat.

Every old goalkeeper loses a step at some point, but you can gain that back through experience.

I've made plenty of mistakes as a keeper, that's for sure. I'll make plenty more before I'm through.

Sometimes you just give everything you have, and you do your absolute best, and it doesn't stack up.

Protecting animals is very important to me, and I think speaking out against fur is an amazing cause.

Winning is fun, but those moments that you can touch someone's life in a very positive way are better.

Fur only looks good on its original owner. Be comfortable in your own skin, and let animals keep theirs.

It's easy to just go out and buy a $200 piece of clothing. The real challenge is finding it for half that.

Confidence is on one side of the line, and self-belief is on another. People all think those are mixed up.

If I woke up and didn't have Tourette's syndrome, it would feel weird - not better or worse, just different.

When you play against top players, sometimes you can play - you can play your utmost and you still get beat.

I think part of being in the public eye is getting recognized and dealing with positive and negative scrutiny.

There are very few young goalkeepers who play at the top level. Most goalkeepers figure it out as time goes on.

There is no privacy in our culture anymore, so I have to try and carve that out for myself, but I'm OK with it.

I think we have more athleticism, I think we have more pace and that's going to be important to deal with Ghana.

Today, I am blessed to be living a dream. And yet, if it all went away tomorrow, I know I would still have peace.

I've been fortunate enough to be headstrong, to be full of self-belief, and those things have never wavered for me.

If you qualify for a World Cup and expect to get an easy group, you are in the wrong sport. It doesn't work like that.

Some goalkeepers are really sexy with their feet. I have a little sexiness with my feet, but I don't like to bring it out.

My personal trainer suggested paleo to build muscle while staying lean, and it's one of the first plans that's worked for me.

I don't really get too high or too low. I think when you have a big tournament, that's the important thing: managing emotion.

My faith helped me stay grounded in defeat and victory, to not get too excited about the successes and too low about the failures.

I don't get a lot of time with my children. My time is precious, and time with my two kids is like gold dust to me. I can't get that time back.

I am grateful for the willingness of both Jurgen Klinsmann and Everton manager Roberto Martinez to afford me the opportunity to spend time with my kids.
