When I was seven I wanted to be a footballer, but when I was 14, I wanted to be a model. Look where it's put me now!

I'm a very stubborn person. I think it has helped me over my career. I'm sure it has hindered me at times as well, but not too many times. I know that if I set my mind to do something, even if people are saying I can't do it, I will achieve it.

It's my responsibility to walk around the hotel with a big smile on my face and not worry about what's happened in the last game.

It's is always nice to be respected as a footballer. I am going to go out and enjoy the game and if I can set one or two goals up then so be it - I would love to.

You will go through tough times, it's about getting through them.

I would never complain about the position I'm in or the attention I get. At the end of the day, I'm very lucky to have what I have and do what I do, but I don't see myself as any different from anyone else who works hard and is a dad and a husband.

I've got friends in the different teams I've played for, but family is the most important thing to me. That will always be the case.
