If I had my career to play over, one thing I'd do differently is swing more. Those 1,200 walks I got, nobody remembers them.
You can't just live cautiously, I think, when you're in a knockout game.
Each year, you are playing to win. That is Manchester's culture.
In the periods of my career when I stopped passing the ball forward or when I stopped looking for the risky pass that might open up a defence, the consequences were the same. The manager stopped picking me. I got back into the team when I went back to doing it the way he wanted.
When I was a little kid I used to play with guys twice my age, so, I was the last one picked, so if I picked I knew that I had to get the ball to the scorer if I wanted to stay on the court, so that was pretty much my job.
I make a dribble or a simple pass, knowing that if I lose the ball near the area, the opponent can score. I am aware of what I do on the pitch, but I always do it to help the team. That's why, occasionally, I also boot the ball into the stands.
It's not harder to make a couple extra substitutions. That's not hard. You get different things when you make changes, you gain things and you lose things. But overall, if you gain things, that's why you play extra guys.
If I'm going to play, I'm going to have to give it 100%, which means I'm going to have to play in all of the tournaments that I don't like.
When you are a player, a footballer, or a manager of a great club like Chelsea, you must play to win. To win. To win the title. Or to fight and, at the end, to compete with the other teams to win the title and reach your targets.
I think that's how it has to be in a tournament format. You can't dwell on games.
I'm in a Catch-22. If I don't go after a ball, I'm lazy, I'm not giving it 100 percent. If I do dive for the ball - which I did, and blew out my shoulder - it's, Why did I play it so hard?
It was the character of the Packers, man. We played for sixty minutes. We let it all hang out. There was no tomorrow for us. We got the adrenaline flowing, and we just let it go, man.
I just go out there and play. I don't know if it's being young and not getting calls, or some other circumstances. I'm just trying to make a play.
Don't play for one run unless you know that run will win a ballgame.
When I'm practising on my own, my game feels great, but there's a big difference between practising on your own and playing against people.
As players, we have to concentrate with what happens on the pitch, not off it.
The turning point in my career came with the realization that Black should play to win instead of just steering for equality.
Certain people who care about me a lot have said 'You don't play the game, and if you don't play the game, you don't get picked for the team all the time.
I'm not one of the guys that's going to hold back and try to win on points.
That's the biggest difference from college to NFL. Everybody's so talented at this level, the difference is knowing the game - knowing where to go with the ball in my position, knowing how to execute your job to the highest level. In college, you could just get by playing ball.
When they have the lead, you don't want to fall into too predictable counts because they're playing with house money at that point. You want to try to be creative and keep them off-balance as much as you can.
I do like match play. I like trying to match an opponent shot for shot. It's a challenge. And it's something different.
The first thing I did was commit to my success and playing to win. I swore I would focus and not even consider leaving this business until I was a millionaire or more. This was radically different from my previous efforts, where, because I always thought short-term, I would constantly get side-tracked by either good opportunities or when things got tough.
At Manchester United, we play to win. That's my first mentality when I get onto the pitch. Then everything else comes with it.
I don't ever feel cautious about making plays. I tell myself that injuries are more likely to occur if I try to play safe.
