If you play for Manchester United, there is always someone out there getting ready to take your jersey. It is up to you to fight and make sure you keep it.
— David Moyes
You're never going to go through a season with no injuries.
Real Sociedad fans are fantastic; they know that the club is trying to join the other teams who are always in the top part of the table - to get as close to them as possible.
I've worked for a long time to get myself in a position where maybe I'd be fortunate enough to land one of the big jobs.
I think I'm capable of doing the job at any club in the world, so I'm sure I can do it at West Ham.
I would never speak about players at other football clubs - I think it's wrong. It's not my style.
I've always been quite strict when it comes to the appearance of my players. I don't want to see earrings in training, things like that.
You can't ring up another manager and say, 'Who do you think I should pick this week?' But you take the good and bad from people as you go along.
In this game, you're on your own. You either sink or swim.
We had some glorious nights at Goodison and the fans were superb.
I had plenty of opportunities before I went to Spain to stay in England, and I had made a decision that I would go and work in Spain.
I was a young manager at Everton and had 11 great years there.
I would have to consider the U.S.A. job if I was approached because it's one of the big nations in world football, with massive growth potential.
I hope that the future is great for West Ham.
I would like it to be the rules all round the world that that is the case - you manage the country of your birth.
I'm desperately ambitious, and one of the things I haven't been able to do at Everton is win a trophy.
I took over from Sir Alex, and it was always going to take time, whoever was in charge.
I think people know that I've got things in my mind that I want to do and things I wanted to change in time. I can't do it all overnight.
There is no club in Europe that wouldn't want Van Persie at centre-forward.
I hope I can fulfill all my ambitions at Everton. But you never know in this game.
I worked hard at Preston.
Your reputation doesn't stand for anything. You have to come and try to get up and show you're capable of doing the job.
At Everton, we have always tried to do good deals and have always tried to buy at the right age and the right price.
I'm always very careful when I'm spending the club's money. I treat it like it's my own, and I always try to sign players for what I feel is the right price.
Bill Kenwright has taught me how to deal with people.
It's true that players can take time to settle at a new club. I remember people telling me it took Patrice Evra and Nemanja Vidic a while - players who became great players for United.
I gave everything I could in trying to make Everton the best I could.
I don't think managers have the opportunity to think in terms of a long-term vision for a club.
I've had my down times, as every manager does, but I bounce back pretty quickly.
I'll do everything I can to get West Ham as far up the table as I can.
I have a point to prove. Sometimes you have to repair things, and maybe I have a little bit that I need to repair.
I don't think anyone ever turns down their national team opportunity, but I think it has to be at the right time.
I had a great time at Everton when I was there and came away from that with a lot of high regard.
Do I feel I should have been given more time? Of course I do. To go to a club like Manchester United and follow someone like Sir Alex after the time he had been there, to stay for ten months... It couldn't be a revolution at Manchester United; it had to be evolution. It had to take time.
Celtic's a brilliant football club, and they have an unbelievable fan base - one of the biggest in the world.
Manchester United isn't about Wayne Rooney. Manchester United is about the team, the club.
I worked hard at Everton.
It will not get better than Sir Alex Ferguson. It just won't.
I'll answer as many questions as I can, but when people have a contract at other football clubs, I think it's wrong to talk about them.
With Marouane's hair, I actually wondered if it might take a bit of the pace off the ball when he went up for a header. But I soon realised it was part of his personality. Part of who he is.
Football is not always as glamourous as some might imagine, as the story of the first time I signed Marouane Fellaini perhaps illustrates.
Bryan Gray at Preston gave me a chance, even though Joe Royle and Ian Rush were being linked with the job. He taught me an awful lot about structuring the job and encouraged me to invest in young players.
I've got huge affection for Everton. It was my life for over a decade.
I got Everton competing at the top end of the league with a midtable budget.
I think, with more experience, I'm probably wiser, calmer. You hope you'll be able to use your knowledge a bit better.
I would still consider myself in the elite group of managers. If it was me against someone else, I'd trust myself.
I love to see goals and attacking play; I want us to be entertaining. But it's no good if you're shipping goals.
I would never have left Everton for anybody but an ambitious football club. And I thought Manchester United would have given me that opportunity.
I think sometimes you need a run and a bit of confidence with getting the goals.
The manager needs to be given the opportunity to get on with his job and be given that time that he needs.
