“I don't go out drinking and stuff like that. My friends say 'Just have...” — Jermain Defoe Quote

I don't go out drinking and stuff like that. My friends say 'Just have one drink, JD.' I say 'What's the point?' I'll go to a club and have a Red Bull, get my buzz. And the next day I feel cool. It's discipline, not just with drinking but a lot of things in life. You've just got to look at the bigger picture.

I don't think I could ever describe myself as unlucky because people would look at me, playing football for a living, and say: 'Are you winding me up?'

There is always going to be competition. When you play for a top club, you're going to attract top players. It's part and parcel of football.

When you play with good players, they will always create chances for the forwards to score.

I, personally, think there is a really danger of taking food too seriously. Food should be part of the bigger picture.

I only play to win. I don't like losing. I never look at the money or the bigger picture.

At least my situation I can be like, look, I avoid physical confrontations, obviously not because I have an issue with physical violence, but I try to see the bigger picture of what it takes for humans to coincide with each other. We're all the same race.

Women's rights are nothing but a part of the bigger picture, which is human rights. Women are trusted with the lives of their kids, even serve as teachers and doctors, but they aren't trusted with their own lives.
