He’s your first love. I intend to be your last.”
David Beckham Retirement Announcement | 16.5. 2013 (x)
“I just want people to see me as a hard-working footballer. Someone that’s passionate about the game. Someone that, every time I stepped on the pitch, I’ve given everything that I have, because that’s how I feel. Going into games at the end of my career, that’s how I look back on it and hope people will see me. Because I think, over the years, it’s been my life and my career. People have obviously looked at certain other things that have gone on throughout my career, and I think sometimes that’s overshadowed what I’ve done on the pitch and what I’ve achieved on the pitch. As much as I say that doesn’t hurt me, of course it does. At the end of the day, I’m a footballer who has played at some of the biggest football clubs in the world. Played with some of the best players in the world. Played under some of the biggest and best managers, and achieved almost everything in football.”
It is tempting to take all these jobs and these movies that people offer you all the time for, lots of money, to play the girl next door or the screen queen, and it is tempting to run out in front of the paparazzi if you feel like you aren’t getting enough attention. But if you value a real career as an artist you value longevity, you can’t sacrafice that for some publicity or a big paycheck. If I wanted to be a celebrity, it would be very easy, but I value different things.
