“As an OCD guy, I find change difficult.”

“As soon as things get serious in front of the goal, I don't have any twitches... It's probably because at that moment, my concentration on the game is stronger than the Tourette syndrome.”

“David Moyes is someone I'm forever indebted to.”

“David Moyes was one who, at a certain crossroads in my career, he was there. And since then, I've kicked on. That's why he played such a big role in my career.”

“I enjoy being a role model for kids.”

“I grew up a Michael Jordan fan; that was my first idol. But my true sports idol was Deion Sanders: he was the person I always wanted to be. I wanted to play two sports professionally, which would never happen, but to me, that was every kid's dream.”

“I grew up in a generation when there was no soccer on TV.”

“I like to get more than my normal 10 hours of sleep nights before a game.”

“I started playing soccer at age 6 and played both outfield and goalie. Back then, no one wanted to go on goalie - coaches would make deals with me so I'd do it. It's a tough position as a kid.”

“I think I have some ideas on coaching, but listen, coaches work harder than players. The hours they put in, the headaches that they have. That's the one thing I've never liked about coaching. They have all the emotion, passion and preparation without actually getting to be able to dictate what happens.”

“I try and tell all the kids that I meet that hope to be amazing one day and be a professional athlete or a doctor or a lawyer or whatever they want to be. I tell them they can do all that because Tourette's won't stop them.”

“I try not to and I don't think I ever have just jumped at any opportunity because a company wanted me. Just because there was money on the table doesn't mean that I took it.”

“I wanted to be a soccer player; I wanted to do it at the highest level.”

“If there is a less likely sight on this earth than Clint Dempsey, the Texas trailer-park kid, doing downward-facing dog poses, or the stalwart Michael Bradley deep breathing through a tree pose, I have yet to see it.”

“In July 2011, U.S. Soccer announced that they'd fired Bob Bradley and hired Jurgen Klinsmann as head coach. Jurgen had once been a world-class German striker; now he was regarded as a successful, if controversial, coach.”

“In the end, very little gets in the way of what Manchester United wants to do.”

“It's important that I'm a role model and that the companies that I associate myself with feel the same way about their own images. Those are companies I'd like to be associated with.”

“I've made plenty of mistakes as a keeper, that's for sure. I'll make plenty more before I'm through.”

“Living with Tourette's is not easy.”

“My faith helped me stay grounded in defeat and victory, to not get too excited about the successes and too low about the failures.”

“My life is training.”

“Sir Alex Ferguson is one of the best managers in football history.”

“Sometimes I tic or twitch or cough, and it's a very public thing.”

“Sponsorships and marketing are oftentimes pretty short-lived. From a company's standpoint, they're often not looking to do tremendously long contracts. They're always trying to catch the next big thing.”

“Sure, I like ice cream, but when you keep a healthy lifestyle, it's: Do you prefer sweets and crappy food, or do you prefer to have a nice body? It depends on what you want more.”

“The most important thing in my life is Christ. He's more important than winning or losing or whether I'm playing or not. Everything else is just a bonus.”

“The President doesn't ring people out of the blue, so you know you've done something well.”

“There are very few young goalkeepers who play at the top level. Most goalkeepers figure it out as time goes on.”

“There is no privacy in our culture anymore, so I have to try and carve that out for myself, but I'm OK with it.”

“There's a tacit understanding among clubs that a good player shouldn't miss out on the big break of his career or a chance at exponentially improved earnings.”

“Three mornings a week, I exercise before eating - it's called 'fasted cardio' - to burn fat.”

“Today, I am blessed to be living a dream. And yet, if it all went away tomorrow, I know I would still have peace.”

“We all need God in certain ways, you know. And I certainly fall short in a lot of categories. And it's at those times that I need much more help than most.”

“When I see someone wearing fur, I just want to sit them down in front of one of PETA's videos and show them just how badly animals suffer for this supposed fabric that no one needs.”

“When you play against top players, sometimes you can play - you can play your utmost and you still get beat.”

“When you play professionally, you get accustomed to turnover. Players come and go - they get injured, they get transferred, they get cut from the team. Coaches are hired, and coaches are fired. It's just part of the world you live in.”

“Winning is fun, but those moments that you can touch someone's life in a very positive way are better.”

“You get 15 minutes of fame, I hear, and I've had 14 minutes. The clock's ticking.”
