I'm used to being around kids. Even when I was growing up in London, I had an older sister, I had a younger sister that I used to look after from time to time.

Keeping fit is really important as playing football is all I've ever wanted to do.

As soon as I hit the ball, I know if it's in.

I think of Milan every day, really. I was really happy at Milanello. I love the team, the staff, everybody who works there. I love the fans. I miss Milan badly, I miss Italy. I don't miss a single [Milan] game, and I don't understand those that say that Calcio is in difficulty. It's so competitive and complete.

I don't have time for hobbies. At the end of the day, I treat my job as a hobby. It's something I love doing.

Football's the biggest game in the world. America's the greatest sporting nation there is. To play some part in putting those two things together: why wouldn't I be excited about that?

I think I've lost a lot of my gay fans to Gavin Henson. It's a shame because I really love them.
