You must respect people and work hard to be in shape. And I used to train very hard. When the others players went to the beach after training, I was there kicking the ball.

I didn't feel that I really fit in anywhere. So when I was young I always had to prove myself through my sporting ability.

I knew that maybe I couldn't be playing again, but I just wanted to get in physical shape.

Every time I am not playing, I am training harder to keep myself fit.

I always kept myself fairly fit.

In many ways, I feel I'm still as physically fit as I was 20 years ago because I've always been athletic.

Because I used to play a lot of sport, I've always been in decent enough shape. When I used to get asked to do a bit of body work before a photo shoot I'd lie and say, 'Yeah, I'm going to the gym.' I literally never did anything.

I was probably in the best shape of any athlete at the time, but you don't get to pass judgment on yourself.

One of the things I worked very hard on all my life was to be like everyone else. I tried very hard to fit in.

I've always been in good shape. I just sucked early in my career from a statistical perspective.
