Jermaine Jenas quotes

“Carrying a knife has come from my fear of what ­someone might do to me. So I'll do ­something to them first. All you have to do is get a hint of danger and I'll all-out attack. There won't be waiting about to see if this person will attack me first.”
-- Jermaine Jenas

They don't even have somewhere to go to just have fun.”
