I've heard people say it looks as if I don't care and I've certainly read that, but the way I play is natural. I don't think I can change it. I know I'm working as hard as the next man, even if it doesn't always look that way.

More quotes by Rio Ferdinand
Best player? For me, it's Paul Scholes. He'll do ridiculous things in training like say, “You see that tree over there?” - it'll be 40 yards away - “I'm going to hit it”. And he'll do it. Everyone at the club considers him the best.
Rio Ferdinand
I'm sure the mantelpiece of captaincy will suit Wayne.
Rio Ferdinand
I feel the longer he stays at United the better it is for the club. He's done so much for United you can't imagine him not being here. (on Sir Alex Ferguson)
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
You get a bad result one week and it's a natural reaction to go out in the next game and put it behind you and do well.
Rio Ferdinand
If any player has a bad game its there in the back of your mind in the next game. Theres always a hangover. It is like a wounded animal in a way, as you want to get out there as quick as possible and rectify it.
Rio Ferdinand
For me, the biggest idiot will always be John Terry.
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
If I saw an ugly bird but she was a celebrity, she wouldn't attract me at all.
Rio Ferdinand
Gary Neville is the club captain but has been injured for the best part of a year now - and Giggsy's taken on the mantlepiece.
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
It's great to see young players like Kieran coming out and not being intimidated by it. (on Kieran Richardson)
Rio Ferdinand
I used to read every, well, most nights. I think reading helps me in terms of relaxing... It helps me to get my mind off the game a little bit more and it helps me to be a little bit more focused.
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
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.
Rio Ferdinand
I set myself high standards on the pitch and know I have not always lived up to them this season.
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
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.
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
You are always flattered when big clubs are interested in you.
