I won't win a World Cup, and I won't win the Olympics, but I'm sure I can compete with the best, and that's what I want to show.
I think my form dipped after the Six Nations in 2007, from the World Cup onwards.
I joke that I only play in World Cups.
World Cups aren't moments to invest in players.
World Cups are about winning.
I certainly have an advantage over some because I can pass on so much from the World Cups I played in.
Growing up, you watch players like Ronaldinho playing in World Cups, doing the business, and you idolise these people.
I think you judge players and managers on how they perform at World Cups.
I never thought I'd play soccer past high school, so to go from that team to actually being most-capped and three World Cups is pretty special.
If someone plays six World Cups, they deserve to be congratulated.
I've played at five World Cups, including one in the U.S. where the distances between the stadiums were also big.
It's crazy to be spoken about like Mascherano. He's won everything: Champions League, La Ligas; he's been at World Cups.
I may not have played men's football, but I've been at World Cups as a player. I know the emotions. I've been in quarter finals, a semi-final. I'd been substituted and sat on the bench watching us lose a penalty shoot-out. I know what happens, what you need when the pressure's on.
Even when I play in World Cups, I don't look at things like that. It's something that I want to be doing, so why would I put extra pressure on myself? I'm just going to go out there and enjoy it.
I played in three World Cups, and I would say that it was the last one that I enjoyed the most.
I have always thought, genuinely thought, that elections are like world cups. They sometimes look easier from the outside and they are very difficult when you are in the middle of them.
I am a perfectionist. This job is a total ego thing in a way. To be a designer and say, 'This is the way they should dress; this is the way their homes should look; this is the way the world should be.' But then, that's the goal: world domination through style.
I'm thinking of a legacy that I can be proud of and wealth that my grandchildren can use to go to college. So world domination - in terms of providing for my family - is absolutely my goal.
I have no aspirations of world domination through the pop charts. None at all.
Sure, I'd love to have children some day. But world domination comes first.
