Look, the reality is that people will pay more for a match when Wayne Rooney is playing than when I am playing. I will never expect to be paid the same as Wayne Rooney, because I am not Wayne Rooney. And there's no getting around that.
OK, Wayne Rooney is always the center of attention, and I always have to answer questions about him. But Wayne is Wayne, and he will always contribute in a game.
His temperament is always there to be questioned because he plays on the edge. That is just the way he plays. It is a cliche but if you took that edge away from Wayne he wouldn't be the same player and I would rather have the Wayne Rooney we have now.
Playing with Wayne Rooney was a dream come true. He's a legend and a role model to me.
It will not be the same Manchester United without Wayne Rooney. He has to stay there until he dies.
I'd gone very quickly from playing in a park with my mates to sitting next to Wayne Rooney at dinner. It was a bit weird.
When I watch sport I like to see the likes of Wayne Rooney when they show a bit of passion. It shows they really care when they're playing for their club and their country.
There have been more things wrong with England than just Wayne Rooney in the last few years.
I am a massive fan of Wayne Rooney, and it is nice to see him play in any position because he gives a 100 per cent. Not many players can do that and say they do that.
During my time playing for England we had Wayne Rooney, David Beckham, Michael Owen, Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, Paul Scholes. They were world-class players playing for Chelsea, Man United, Liverpool, Arsenal, all legends of the game.
I back all of my players, not only Wayne Rooney.
It's special - when you start playing, you are aware of names like Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie; you have seen them playing and know what great players they are. So it's fantastic to have a chance to line up with them. I'm really pleased with how that understanding has started off.
Everyone went crazy over Wayne Rooney, but I get more excited by Cristiano Ronaldo.
As a goalkeeper, I needed good players around me. I needed Nemanja Vidic, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Wayne Rooney. It's the same as a CEO.
Normally the biggest stars, as Wayne Rooney is, are selfish but he is not.
People can say I'm fat but I know my own body. I always look big because I'm bigger built - I've got that Wayne Rooney type of body.
People say that Rooney could have been like Lionel Messi, a more prolific goalscorer who dribbles past opponents more. But they are different characters. You will never see Messi snapping around the heels of an opponent to win the ball back deep in his own half. Wayne does that all the time, and sometimes that enthusiasm will count against him.
