Any change of my style, the way I've played for 10 years, will not be a drastic one. Yes, I've always given as good as I've got; as a forward you have to do that because, if you don't look after yourself, you might find yourself being thrown in a hole and buried.

One accusation you can't throw at me is that I've always done my best.

I always dreamed about scoring at St. James' Park. I fancied my chances and the ball flew into the net. I was ecstatic.

As a kid I always wanted to be a centre-forward. I wanted the buzz and thrill of scoring goals from an early age.

No money in the world can buy a white England shirt.

If you take the money away, a lot of the footballers would still be playing football. So, the money has nothing to do with it.

I like the tag of being the world's most expensive player. It's an honour and a privilege.
