I accept I am not everyone's cup of tea, but judge me over a period of time.

I analyse performances on the pitch rather than any warm-up.

I believe in what I do on the training ground.

I don't think I was a control freak. I just couldn't get my head around things. When I joined Sheffield United I was told I had £5m to spend, then when I went to see the chief executive he told me if I didn't raise £350,000 no one was getting paid.

It's not always about money, we got Hull promoted with a collection of loans and waifs and strays.

When you get sacked, everybody thinks: 'He's a football manager, he'll get lots of money,' but you still get sacked, which for me is a slur on you, it degrades you.

The job of the artist is always to deepen the mystery.

The artist's job is to be a witness to his time in history.

It is a mistake for a sculptor or a painter to speak or write very often about his job. It releases tension needed for his work.

To catch a husband is an art; to hold him is a job.

Real power is being able to take care of yourself. My job is to make art, but I aspire to do more than that.

Americans are the most generous country on the planet. I've worked in Europe, I've worked in Australia. There is no where else where you get absolutely no attitude for being a foreigner. If you do your job well, they embrace you.
