On his best feature
My body. I have a nice body (2007)
On his mother
Even today she still treats me as if I were a baby, or a small boy ... Our relationship is fantastic (2007)
On his shirt number
It represents the symbol of perfect totality. My [new] house will have seven bedrooms and my pool will be built in the shape of a seven (2006)
On Manchester
At 3 o'clock, 4 o'clock in the night you can do nothing special. But in Portugal it is different (2008)
On staying at Man United
I never promise anything. I don't promise anything to my mum. I don't promise anything to my supporters. I want to stay, but the future, no one knows (2008)
Asked who Man Utd's best-looking player is
Well, after me, my team doesn't have many gorgeous ones, honestly. A blond and blue-eyed guy - there is none, is there? Difficult ... I'd say Patrice Evra (2009)
On having a son some day
He should have the same football genes as me so that he could follow in my footsteps. If he looked like me, it would be even better. I will not say: "I would like a clone", but hope our similarities would be easy to notice at all levels (2007)
On guffaws in the changing room
We all play jokes, whether with someone's earrings or their shoes (2007)
On being booed during away games
If they don't boo me now, I think: "Why don't the people boo me?" It's normal. I like it (2008)
On smoking
The sight of a smoker is almost as despicable as having to put up with other people's smoke (2007)
On self-doubt
It isn't always possible to play beautifully. But I think some players in the Premier League basically always do - and I am one of them (2006)
On companionship
I don't like being alone. My friend Ze has been living with me for years. He knows who I am, what I like and what I don't like, what annoys me and what pleases me (2009)
On his taste in women
I prefer them with a full set of teeth (2008)
