It was Tottenham at home. I thought: 'Please don't go on about Tottenham, we all know what Tottenham are about. They are nice and tidy but we'll f****** do them.' Alex came in and said: 'Lads, it's only Tottenham.' And that was it! Brilliant!
I always want to score as quickly as possible, whether I am in the starting lineup or playing as a substitute.
It has all happened so quickly, but it's exciting, I just wanna get back to playing football you know.
I'd love to be captain of Tottenham and hopefully England as well.
Um, lots of people grab my ass. I'm actually starting to get this thing now where people grab my package. That actually happened once in Boston, it usually doesn't happen. We went over to England and it happened at almost every show. I don't really enjoy any kind of invasion of privacy like that I guess. Grabbing my package is obviously a total invasion of privacy I'm not into that at all.
As the MP for an area like Tottenham you quickly learn that the factors leading to unemployment are as numerous as they are diverse.
At Burnley, I'd enjoy myself with my missus and friends, but because at Tottenham we're playing Saturday-Tuesday, even Wednesday-Sunday, and with the intensity we play at, playing in the Champions League, we can't afford to have a night out.
As a child I played cricket as a hobby. Once you started playing for your school, you became more ambitious. You reckoned you could play for the state. Then you started to think about the country. But it happened so quickly for me, I started playing for the school at 13, for Bombay at 17, and at 18 I was in the Indian side.
I did not choose Tottenham for the money. Believe me, I could've gone elsewhere to earn more, even in England.
I love scoring goals for England and playing for England. That's one of the reasons I didn't retire - I love playing for my country.
I didn't really think about going to another club; I wanted to be a Tottenham player and play at Tottenham.
Quickly, after I landed in England, I found out ways to get scholarships. England turned out to be a very encouraging place for me.
Tottenham are a beautiful club, a traditional club in England.
When Bale first started at Tottenham, they were struggling to win whenever he played at left-back, but it is unbelievable how quickly things can change in football.
So, it just seemed like it happened naturally. We nailed our live show to some extent in a year or about a year and a half, maybe just a year of playing songs pretty much around L.A. then we went and scheduled a mini-tour up-state on the West Coast and that's when the whole Rough Trade [Records] thing started happening and from there, things just happened so quick. It changed really quickly.
