Hopefully I can play until I'm 40.
I do not forecast playing until 38 or 39.
Playing until I'm 40 is definitely a possibility.
Guardiola has never been a great player; he was just a good player.
I would love to be a player today. I had the right personality for it.
When you're growing up and thinking about being a footballer, you want to make as many caps and play as many games as you can.
To play 18 years as a pro and have a great college career, it's awesome.
The first part of my life, as a player, has ended but now I'm heading into an equally important part as a manager, hoping to do as well as I did on the field.
Like so many of the players, I started at La Masia at the age of 11. I can't ever imagine not playing for Barcelona, let alone not playing soccer for a career. I don't ever want to play anywhere else.
As a kid, New York was in my blood, and that was it. I got a chance to play for the Knicks, so it was cool, but it was towards the end of my career.
I want to play years in this league.
There is pressure, and I would never complain about that, but as players we put pressure on ourselves all the time. That's one thing I won't miss when I finally stop playing.
Chicago's where I started my career. I've had a lot of success playing here.
No one has said, 'What are you doing still playing?' Everyone said, 'Play as long as possible.' You stop when you stop enjoying it, and I'll know when I've had enough and can't keep up with the boys.
At the end of the day, I'm a footballer who has played at some of the biggest football clubs in the world and played with some of the best players in the world.

I played on the 2001 team, the team that won the most games in the history of Major League Baseball and also I played on one of the worst teams of Major League Baseball.
I feel privileged to play for Manchester United. It is something, when I'm old, I will always be proud of.
I would hope people remember the playing days first, and not the coaching years.
I'm in love with Barcelona, life there is fantastic. It was my best period playing.
I'm not going to be 50 and playing. I hope I'm 40, but 50, no.
When you get older, you want to be playing. I'm not one who would want to be sitting around as part of the squad, making up the numbers. I am conscious that I want to be playing and making a contribution to the team.
It's not a secret. Everybody knows that it was a special place for me there when I was playing with the Eagles. I started there, they kinda changed my life for the better.
