“I avoid the public because the English public is too aggressive these days for me.”

“Photographs aren't accounts of scrutiny. The shutter is open for a fraction of a second.”

“I am quite a relaxed person out of the car, but in the car I am aggressive, I never give up, I fight to the end and I try 100% all the time.”

“When my brain switches to fight mode and there is talk of opponents, then I change a little and become a little more aggressive and mouthy!”

“I accept that I sometimes overstepped the mark, but I can tell you that, off the pitch, I've never been an overly aggressive person.”
