Football is the most important thing in my life, but I do have a life outside football and this is one part. The TV, the music, the fashion - it all goes to make up Rio Ferdinand.

More quotes by Rio Ferdinand
At times, European football can be very slow but it speeds up in the final third.
Rio Ferdinand
In some ways, I was a little bit surprised [by how dominant we were] but then I look at the players in our changing room and it doesn't surprise me because we've got quality in there. If we click and play well like we did in the first half, we can open up any team.
Rio Ferdinand
If we had a starting XI that no one could argue about it wouldn't say a lot for English football. We'd probably be on a downward spiral. It's good that people have different ideas about who should play.
Rio Ferdinand
For too long now, European football authorities have not taken the problem of racism in the game seriously and refuse to acknowledge how widespread the problem is.
Rio Ferdinand
It's great to see young players like Kieran coming out and not being intimidated by it. (on Kieran Richardson)
Rio Ferdinand
Do you know who I am? Why, have you forgotten?
Rio Ferdinand
So if u shorten words to get what u want in within 140 characters it makes u a twit?
Rio Ferdinand
It doesn't matter whether you're a senior or not, if something needs saying to a colleague it will be said.
Rio Ferdinand
His temperament is always there to be questioned because he plays on the edge. That is just the way he plays. It is a cliche but if you took that edge away from Wayne he wouldn't be the same player and I would rather have the Wayne Rooney we have now.
Rio Ferdinand
You are always flattered when big clubs are interested in you.
Rio Ferdinand
Most professional players are their own biggest critics. Some of the things you read in the papers that strike you as bang out of order will already have been thought by the players themselves
Rio Ferdinand
There is a hangover from a defeat like Denmark - ask any player about when they've had a bad game, it's still in there somewhere in the back of your mind.
Rio Ferdinand
For me, the biggest idiot will always be John Terry.
Rio Ferdinand
There is a huge responsibility on all of us to get England through. It would be one of the biggest disasters in sports history if we blew it and we must make sure it does not happen.
Rio Ferdinand
If you come out with racist comments, then I believe you shouldn't be allowed to come to a football match. Don't be so narrow minded, you're bigger than that.
Rio Ferdinand
You want to come home from a tournament with a winner's medal. That's not the fans or the media putting us under pressure, that's the pressure we put ourselves under.
Rio Ferdinand
He has always been a slippery little git! (on Joe Cole)
Rio Ferdinand
Who were the best players I had ever played against? Raul, Messi, Zidane.
Rio Ferdinand
It was wicked meeting Nelson Mandela.
Rio Ferdinand
No matter how much money you have or what kind of cocoon you live in, the reality is that you have lost a game of football and let England's fans down. We are bothered.
